Twenty-five percent of the community service orders analyzed by WODC were from the Breda district. Comparative data cover the community service proposals accepted and refused by the judiciary, the age range of offenders receiving an order, the employment status of offenders receiving the order, the offenses involved, the legal models under which orders were imposed, kind of community service work, and reasons for refusing community service proposals. The study distinguishes data on orders issued under the judicial model (deferment of sentence) and under the prosecutorial model (conditional dismissal). Some common findings of the two studies are that about 63 percent of community service offenders were unemployed; most offenses receiving orders were property crimes and traffic offenses; and most community service work consisted of painting, repair work, and maintenance. 17 tables, 3 notes.
