Suspended Sentence v Community Service

    Between a suspended sentence or community service which one is considered the more serious or worse sentence?

    I am getting 100 hours community service instead of 3 months in prison. I was told that this is better than getting a suspended sentence but I will actually be doing Community Service. If I got a suspended sentence I wouldn't have anything to do but would have a suspended sentence on my record.

    For say getting visas or travelling I am guessing that community service isn't looked on as bad as a suspended sentence?

    Would all depend on initial crime.

    Not sound condescending but a suspended sentence means your ordered to go to jail but it was suspended where as you have been ordered to do community service...you got the better option
