  I recently visited a country park where young lads on community service were working with the groundsmen tidying up and planting the lovely gardens. They really looked as though they were enjoying the work and speaking to one of the managers there who is a friend of mine she told me that some of them had even said they would like to work there, or somewhere similar as a career. I think if offenders are made to feel valued and are given interesting work (as opposed to picking up litter etc) then it gives them a boost and a direction to aim for.
  Let's face it, a lot of the youngsters who are doing community service have committed silly "crimes" brought about through nothing better to do. Give them a reason d'etre and many will redirect their lives.
