شروط الحكم بعقوبة العمل في خدمة المجتمع كبديل للعقوبة السالبة للحرية في التشريع البحريني و المقارن

Abstract EN

The study was divided into three parts, the first of which deals with the objective conditions, the second deals with personal status, while the third part is devoted to the procedural conditions for judging the penalty for work.

Through the research, I reached a number of results, the most important which are: The penalty for working in community service is an alternative punishment for deprivation of liberty for a short period only for the Bahraini legislator.

The penalty work is linked to penalties of deprivation of liberty in terms of its duration, unlike other legislations that accepted community service as an alternative for a fine and give the judge the discretionary power to determine its period.

In a spite of the adoption for the legislation on the criterion period of deprivation of liberty to impose a penalty on working in the service of society and some legislations have excluded crimes with a social and personal impact, such as rape and assault with honor.

We have asked the Bahraini legislator to extend the period prescribed for the work penalty, to make it for a period of two years and we demanded that it explicitly stipulate that the convict must attend the hearing of the verdict for the work penalty and stipulate on the exception for the criminal of more than one crime or those previously sentenced a crime.
