Question

Do people who work in law get punished more severely for crimes than people who work in other fields?

Answer 1

If they get caught.  But that's the thing, they know how to avoid getting caught.

Answer 2

Yes, because they often lose their jobs along with the jail time. Others go to jail, and are free to practice their chosen career again once released. Law enforcers and lawyers often need to seek a new line of work.
