There are 10 capital crimes in #mishpatim (Exodus 21-24):
1-Murder
2-Premeditated murder
3-Battery of a parent
4-Kidnapping
5-Cursing a parent (mortal cursing is implied, I think)
6-Failure to control a dangerous animal who kills someone
7-Night burglary if caught and killed in the act. (Not really a prescribed penalty, but it is a justified homicide according to God.)
8-Sorcery
9-Beastiality
10-Idolatry
There are a few other crimes for which God prescribes death in other passages, but they aren't as numerous as some detractors of the Bible would have you believe. None of these are "victimless crimes".

These crimes are the examples of where I was thinking that a member should be expelled from the community with immediate effect and without a chance of returning; as a person who commits a capital crime didn't return after they were stoned.
We can't in secular law legally stone a person, so the next option is banishment.
But on the other hand, should we forgive a person if they truly repent?
