Statute overview

About this statute

Up to ten hours of a community service sentence may be served through approved rehabilitative programs or substance-abuse-related services. Community service requires the offender’s consent and that the offender is expected to manage it; the criminal justice service prepares a suitability assessment. Community service must start without delay and be completed within one year after the judgment becomes enforceable, unless other sections apply. Kriminalvårdsväsendet ska upprätta en tjänstgöringsplan för samhällstjänst och göra upp ett exakt tidsschema. A person sentenced to community service must take part in planning and required meetings, follow the plan and schedule, do assigned tasks carefully, and not use or be affected by alcohol or other intoxicants at the service site or required meetings.
