Criminal justice plays a critical role in protecting individuals from harmful activities in our society by striving to punish lawbreakers and rehabilitate them whenever possible. In many countries, imprisonment is the most common form of punishment, with criminals sentenced based on the type and severity of their crimes. However, there is an alternative to stricter approaches: community service. I argue that, in some cases, alternative forms of retribution can be more effective solutions for addressing crime and can provide greater benefits to society.
