Understanding the Penalties for Theft Crimes
Theft crimes are thought to be crimes of “moral turpitude,” which does not bode well for future employment or professional licenses should you be convicted. Future employers – as well as state licensing boards for contractors, real estate, and nursing – may deny you a professional license with a theft crime on your record.
Other potential penalties for a theft crime include jail or prison time, fines, restitution to victims, probation, community service, and theft counseling.
