Ms Oonagh McPhillips:
The courts, in particular, with respect to more minor offences that would attract a lower sentencing rate generally would refer an offender like that to the Probation Service for assessment as to whether the person was suitable for a community service order and depending on how that assessment went the court would decide to assign it. It can vary quite a lot.
