What is the penalty for stealing?

Theft is a very serious crime and the punishment is very severe. Generally, when the number is large, it can be sentenced to more than three years in prison. If there is attempted theft, the perpetrator should be given different punishment according to different standards. At this time, attempted theft may not constitute theft, so the punishment will naturally not be criminal. According to the provisions of China's Public Security Administration Punishment Law and Criminal Law, the detention of attempted theft can be roughly divided into two types: the first is administrative detention. The personal behavior of criminal suspects mainly involves theft, fraud, cajoling, robbing other people's property, or intentionally damaging public and private property. After the criminal suspect is arrested, he will face administrative detention for more than five days and less than ten days, and at the same time be fined less than 500 yuan. If the theft is serious, the suspect will face administrative detention for more than 10 and less than 15, and be fined less than 1000 yuan. The second is criminal detention, that is, in some relatively important cases, some criminal suspects are arrested on the spot, and people are directly detained in prison because of the needs of the case. The detention can't stop until the police get enough evidence to prosecute the cracked case. Generally, the term of criminal detention is at least 14 days, which can be extended appropriately under special circumstances, but it shall not exceed 37 days.
