A person convicted of a criminal offense may be required to complete a sentence of community service directly or as an express condition of PROBATION. Typically, the community service will involve performance at a facility that has been authorized by the court or probation department. Community service is appropriate when it is reasonably designed to repair the harm caused by the offense.
