Courts can set unpaid community work for up to 240 hours. This must be completed within 12 months.
The National Probation Service, which administers these sentences, says offenders would be expected to do a minimum of six hours a week, either as a single block or as two separate sessions.
Examples of the work undertaken include maintaining graveyards, renovating playgrounds and removing graffiti.
Failure to comply with the terms of such an order can result in the offender being called back to court for re-sentencing.
When applying for jobs drivers need to declare such sentences if asked to do so, but only for the five years following the date of conviction.
