This dimension groups criminal offenses by their grade or severity. Wikipedia notes that an offender, if found guilty, "may be sentenced to a form of reparation such as a community sentence, or, depending on the nature of their offence, to undergo imprisonment, life imprisonment or, in some jurisdictions, death," a range of penalties that tracks the offense's own grade. Browsing by offense grade compares offenses of a similar severity.
