Question: What would the punishment be if someone shoplifted?
Answer: The punishments differ from state to state. In Arizona, shoplifting can be a misdemeanor or felony, depending on the amount of the item taken, the type of item taken (firearms are always a felony) and whether the person has a previous criminal record. For a juvenile in AZ the punishments can include probation, payment of fines, jail for up to one year, commitment to Juvenile Corrections or a treatment facility. It depends on the state and how the judge in court would handle the crime.
