Criminal Law What does the probation and incarceration wording mean?

[johndoe]

In immigration law, it says that incarceration of more than 6 months results in removal and deportation. Is that the same as probation for 6 or more months? Also, would a misdemeanor charge of theft with a one year probation be considered a crime of moral torpitude(cant spell) or an aggravated crime in immigration law? Thanks

You should take the time to look the words up though, an dedicated mind is an educated mind.
