What is the test for making a minor criminal a serious crime?

"New York", United States of America

The following excerpt is from People v. Suazo, 118 N.E.3d 168, 32 N.Y.3d 491, 93 N.Y.S.3d 629 (N.Y. 2018):

"stir[ ] community outrage" (majority op. at 504, 93 N.Y.S.3d at 640, 118 N.E.3d at 179) and transform that violation into a serious crime? To import federal collateral consequences distorts the constitutional analysis beyond recognition: the reason we look to the penalty authorized by the local legislature is because that "legislature has included within the definition of the crime itself a judgment about the seriousness of the offense" ( Frank v. United States, 395 U.S. 147, 149, 89 S.Ct. 1503, 23 L.Ed.2d 162 [1969] [emphasis added] ). Only that local legislature is capable of making the relevant judgment.
