Uncle Jack Shaftoe's Guide to Crime & Punishment (updated for 3.1+)
After reading about the sweeping changes to Crime & Punishment in 3.0 from Ed Lewis' post I decided to redo the flow-chart I made a couple of years back. The info in Ed's post was great, but my mind has trouble keeping all of that straight whilst I'm reading it...pictures work a lot better for me. Hopefully I haven't gotten anything wrong, be sure to let me know if I have. In a nutshell, once you've gone and gotten yourself a Fine, Bounty, or Power Bounty the only way to get rid of them is through the light green trapezoids (not to be confused with Thargoids) along the bottom. I've made a 'light' version as well as a 'dark' version for those of us who like to fly with the lights off. Keep on flying, Cmdrs!
