Based on my experience

1. Criminal. Generally it is not illegal to carry small knives. But that can depend on local and state laws. If a person is carrying a knife that is in violation of the law, it would be a criminal issue.
2. Civil and criminal. Technically a crime, but often handled in civil court (lawsuit for violating the copyright)
3. Criminal. A minor violation. But still trespassing and possibly property damage.
4. Civil. This would be covered by a warranty and is between you and the store or manufacturer
5. Criminal. Property damage
6. Criminal. Possession of controlled substance is against the law and is generally handled in criminal court
7. Criminal. Harassing is illegal, again handled in criminal court.

Keep in mind, in many criminal acts in which another person is harmed or they have their property destroyed, they usually have the right to sue to recover money for their loss.
