| | offenders fulfilling community punishment orders | Explanation:
Community punishment :
In the UK Penal system, unpaid work in the service of the community (aiding children, the elderly or the disabled) performed by a convicted person by order of the court as an alternative to prison. It was known as community serivce until 2001.

Community punishment is a court order that requires an offender to perform unpaid work under the supervision of a probation officer. The offender must consent and be over 16 years of age, and they must carry out between 40 and 240 hours of work. It is used by the courts as a punishment - or as part of a sentence - and a breach of this order can lead to a fine and even imprisonment.

Explanation:
van der Endt: taakstraf = community service
Taakstraffen
Zowel de officier van justitie als de kinderrechter kan een taakstraf opleggen. De officier van justitie kan echter alleen korte taakstraffen (tot 40 uur) opleggen.
Een taakstraf kan bestaan uit een werkstraf , een leerstraf of een combinatie daarvan.
