I’ll be explaining why community service is seen as punishment.

It’s not a highly popular topic but it still gets enforced very often in criminal justice and even behind doors.

I’ve always seen it as something that should just be volunteer work being asked often for assistance and not only punishment.

Why is Community Service a Punishment?

Community service is a benefit to the neighborhood that’s been harmed by an offender’s crime.

Neighborhood Benefits

• Homeowners’ association
• Community resources
• Sidewalk system
• Parks
• Places for children to play
• Proximity
• Strengthened community 
• Reinforced value

Most areas of improvement that get emphasized when it comes to improving neighborhoods are in those areas.

Security’s the most popular reoccurring theme.

Typically it feels this way and I could see that being the case because most nice areas are located near restaurants or shops of some sort.

Depending on if the surrounding stores carry items that you’ll be buying often it’ll make a difference in how well things get taken care of.

Statistics support that a community which takes care of its establishments to be safer as well.
