Topic: Communal Services
Meaning of Communal Services
Community Service is a non-paying job performed by one person or a group of people for the benefit of the community or its institutions. Performing community service is not the same as volunteering, since it is not always performed on a voluntary basis. It may be performed for a variety of reasons:
- It may be required by a government as a part of citizenship requirements, generally in lieu of military service.
- It may be required as a substitution of, or in addition to, other criminal justice sanctions – when performed for this reason it may also be referred to as community payback.
- It may be mandated by schools to meet the requirements of a class, such as in the case of service-learning or to meet the requirements of graduating as class valedictorian.
Community service also occurs when an offender (person accused of a crime) completes work that benefits his or her local community as a method of repaying a debt to society. Community service is often used as an alternative to imprisonment, designed to connect offenders to the victim or society so that they understand how their actions affect others.
