To me, it isn't the crime, it is the person.

Every single crime is done by a host of different motivations.

A person might kill someone and immediately regret it afterwards, where they would strive for redemption.
That is the same for any crime.

Some people can't be rehabilitated, since rehabilitation is something that they genuinely have to want and work toward.

So, to me, it really depends on the person not the crime they have committed.
