I know, using someone's work without proper credit to them is a serious crime and there are instances of people being stripped of their degrees for this. I also know self plagiarism is a crime but what I do not know is its gravity relative to the case when it involves someone else.

Self-plagiarism is misleading and against integrity, any research should come up with new knowledge that advance our understanding. Without proper citation, self-plagiarism deceive the reader by implying that the paper presenting completely new discoveries or knowledge. In addition, you do not own those words if you use it in previous published research for the copyrights reasons.
