A conditional sentence is a non-custodial punishment for crime. It is one type of criminal sentencing used in Canada. ==Description== Conditional refers to rules the offender must follow in order to remain out of prison, which are similar to when one is on parole. These are most often treatment for drug or alcohol abuse, curfews, and community service.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Fact Sheet # 3: Usage of Conditional Sentencing Across Canada (1996-1999) )〕 Offenders who breach their conditions or re-offend must complete their sentence in prison. To receive a conditional sentence, the sentencing judge must be satisfied that the offender does not pose a danger to the community. This allows less serious offenders to remain in their communities or at home. The largest percentage of conditional sentences are for property crime.〔 By law, a conditional sentence must be less than two years in duration; they have an average length of eight months.,〔 and the offence that the offender was convicted of cannot be punishable by a minimum sentence of imprisonment. Conditional sentences were introduced in 1995 as a response to perceived over-incarceration, especially among aboriginal Canadians. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Conditional sentence (Canada)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
