Roughly:
murder, rape, sexual assault, battery, arson, sexual harassment, racketeering, assault, treason, DUI, fraud, theft, infidelity, speeding, drug dealing
However, that order could change quite a bit based on the specific circumstances of the crime.
Same but Iβd put treason higher imo
The legal system spent centuries attempting to order this and it continues to be debated, argued and transformed on a daily basis.
This isnβt something you can rank for a lot of these. For example, speeding. Are you going 75 in a 60, or 80 in a school zone? Very different things. Murder. Whoβd you kill, and why? Lots of people i wouldnt mind so much. Treason. Some people who commit treason are heroes. Imagine committing treason against Nazi Germany for example. Ranking actions in general just isnβt possible without the exact context, and situation being known. Thats kinda why we have a justice system that is so complicated, and requires long drawn out trials.
Wayyyyy too many variables. Are we talking weed or meth? Sexual assault by an adult, or by an abused child repeating behaviors? Is the DUI just barely over the legal limit or is it egregious? Is the theft a colonizer stealing land or a beggar stealing bread?
I canβt with moral absolutism.
