In most jurisdictions, almost every state, the crime is a state crime.  The punishment is either life imprisonment or some form of that like 30 years to life OR death.  The number of years for being in prison may vary, state to state.  Mostly today, society is gearing towards life without the possibility of parole.  That means being in prison for the rest of one's life.

First drugs are illegal so a punishment goes there.\nUnder the use of drugs an act of crime occurs, may not have if accused was clean.\nConsider priors he/she may have.\nThen put together a jail term and a drug rehab program.\nI would suggest  a 3 to 5 year  sentence and less time for good behavior.  \nYes you are right about a killing being less time. That really stinks.

i think to make murder punishable by murder is a joke, what is the difference between the criminal and the law if both are commiting murder. also if i were facing life in prison i would much prefer the death penalty and im sure many people on death row see it that way, fortunatly in my country we abolished the death penalty long ago and now killers have to live with their nightmares for the rest of their lives rather than getting an easy way out. we are supposed to be promoting modern liberal western values to the rest of the world but it is not very good when the wests leading nation itself cannot follow these ideals

This site seems to outline it very specifically.\n\nAlthough I didn't read too far, it might be referring to a certain case.  Take a look-see.\n\nThe second one looks better, I think.\n\n10-20 years imprisonment, death if they take a life.   If less than $100 is taken, then less than 10 years if noone was injured.

Vengeance usually implies "justice". Revenge usually implies retaliation.

For your survey, are you asking about murder in general or a specific crime? Homicide as apposed to manslaughter?

In England, we do, in fact, have the Death penalty. But this is little known about. I am led to believe that the only 2 crimes which still carry this penalty however, are:\n1: Piracy on the High Seas (High Seas being out into international waters) and\n2: Setting fire to her majectys dock yards.\n\nI'm pretty sure no one has been found guilty for these for a while, but I'd quite like myself to see some more added back to the list, especially now we have good DNA evidence etc ...

I am for the death penalty, and for expanding the number of crimes eligible for the death penalty.\n\nI am also for corporal punishment. Caning or whipping can cure a lot of criminal tendencies.\n\nIt is called punishment. There is nothing immoral about harsh punishments. But there is something wrong with failure to punish wrongdoers. Leniency towards evil-doers is surely as immoral as the crimes themselves.

' condemned to dead ' ?! I thought the whole planet was. Capital punishment statistics. Look under that on the net.

I can think of three major categories, depending on the severity of the crime.\n\nCivil infraction - speeding ticket, etc.  Not really a crime.\n\nMisdemeanor - crime punishable by less than a year in jail.  Some states have 'high misdemeanors' that are punishable by less than 2 years in jail.\n\nFelony - crime punishable by more than a year in prison.  Capital crimes are those felonies that are punishable by death (or life in prison).  Murder is the big one here.\n\nI guess you could also categorize crimes by victims/results splitting them up into property crimes, white collar crimes, violent crimes, vice (so called victimless crimes), etc..\n\nNot all criminals are created equal.

The crime of murder is broken into two sections: you must first have the necessary mens rea, this is the intetion.  For murder - you must have an intention to kill or wicked recklessness.\n\nThe actus reus is the act of killing somebody.\n\nBoth must be satsified before somebody can be convicted of murder - in theory anyway

I believe your sentence/perdition/penalty would greatly depend on a few things like the state where the crime was committed, and the dollar amount of said offense.  \n\nIt might just end up being a state charge, but it has the propensity to be a federal charge too depending on the specific details and nature of the crime.

It varies by state and jurisdiction, but in the US, there are two common capital crimes - murder and treason.\n\nSome others (which carry a death penalty in certain states) are aggravated kidnapping, perjury which leads to a person's death, aggravated rape of victim under age 12, large scale drug trafficking, or aircraft hijacking.\n\nThere's plenty more about capital punishment in the wikipedia article linked below, including the same kind of information for other countries. Good luck on your project!
