Not if there are other places where the "crime" of which the person is
guilty is not considered a crime at all.

In a future with countless space colonies, scattered across hundreds of
gigameters and isolated from each other (at least when compred to
present-day Earth-based cities) I would think that each colony would have a
different culture and different values, and a "criminal" could eventually
find a place where he or she fits.
