I went and made some changes to the Community Service Article. While the author had done an excellent job describing community service as it pertains to the criminal justice system, I felt that there was more to community service than just that. There were other aspects of community service, such as for use, or when it's given voluntarily instead of just when people are sentenced to do so after being convicted of crimes.

I can't really think of how to word it properly, but I think it would be good to incorporate the fact that many high school students feel obligated to complete community service to advance their college resume.

[edit] Transformative therapy - deleted

For those who want to participate in such a program Facing the Future with Hope's Transformative Therapy program can assist. Transformative therapy uses a variety of techniques sometimes known as integrative medicine to help people recovery from drug and alcohol dependency.

I removed this as 1) link broken & nothing similar found 2) not relevant to Community Service !

We could even lose this

Community service is only one of a variety of alternative sentencing techniques designed to be more effective at reforming perpetrators, to reduce recidivism, to benefit society, to help people, and to reduce the overall cost to society of sentencing criminals. Other alternatives include home-based incarceration, targeted payback of funds to victims, and drug addiction treatment rather than imprisonment.

[edit] Uniform controversy - notable ?

In the UK, there has been some controversy over whether orange overalls (gitmo-style) and hi-viz jackets were valid as part of the punishment, degrading, or just a 'Health and Safety' measure !

In the US, too ?
