A community service order (CSO) is a direction from the court for a person convicted of a crime to do community work for no fee.
A community service order (CSO) is imposed when a court decides that rather than imposing a term of imprisonment, an offender should complete community work for a specified number of hours.
Before imposing a community service order (CSO), the court must be satisfied that the offender is suitable for community work, and that arrangements exist in the area in community service order which the offender resides or intends to reside for the offender to perform the community work. An assessment report is required from probation or parole officers before the order is imposed.
A community service order (CSO) generally requires the offender to report to the local office of the department which is advised by the commissioner. The offender must not report for, or perform, community work while under the influence of drugs or alcohol and the offender must participate in the activities determined by the CSO as directed.
The number of hours required to be performed by the offender is tied to the maximum term of imprisonment available for the offense for which the offender has been found guilty. This ranges from 100 hours where the maximum prison sentence does not exceed six months, 200 hours where the maximum sentence is more than six months but does not exceed twelve months and 500 hours where the maximum sentence exceeds one year.
If the offender fails to comply with the terms of the community service order (CSO) the court may issue a summons so that the offender must reappear in court. The court can then revoke the order and impose a more severe penalty, such as a full time custodial sentence.
A section 9 good behaviour bond is a direction of the court for an offender to enter into a bond to be of good behaviour for a specified period.
A section 9 good behaviour bond can be imposed when a penalty of imprisonment is either not available or not considered appropriate.
A section 9 good behaviour bond must not exceed 5 years.
If the offender does not comply with the conditions of the bond, the court that sentenced the offender may call on the offender to reappear before the court. The court can then decide to take no further action or to vary the conditions of the bond, to impose further conditions on the bond or to revoke the bond and re-sentence the offender to a tougher penalty.
