No, but there should be rehabilitation programmes put in place and an understanding of the socio-economic back rounds to enable that rehabilitation.

 @9NN42LJanswered…2mos2MO

Yes, but deny if the repeat offences are violent or serious crimes. Misdemeanors like possession should not effect this.

 @9NLGS5Lanswered…2mos2MO

Yes, but dent after three serious crimes. (e.g. violent crimes). Lesser offenses like possession or minor traffic infractions etc. should not count towards this.

Yes if they only did crimes like burglary or car theft. Or manslaughter but that can depend. No if it is for serious crimes like hate crimes, rape, murder, attempted murder. Even if it was a single time, no.
