England and Wales have the following community sentences: probation orders, community service orders, combination orders (which combine probation and community service), curfew orders, and supervision orders and attendance centre orders (for younger juvenile offenders), with all but curfew orders supervised by the probation service. Under the Criminal Justice Act 1991, as amended by the 1993 Act, these sentences are subject to the sentencing principles that the severity of the punishment should correspond to the seriousness of the offence to which it relates, taking account of previous convictions or failure to respond to previous sentences. In most cases, community orders are discreet penalties and are not combined with each other in a single sentence, although an individual offender may be subject to a number of concurrent orders for different offences. The principal exception is the combination order,which permits a limited amount of community service to be combined with probation supervision. For offenders sentenced in the Youth Court, the range of community orders available depends on the age of the offender. Probation orders and community service orders are not available for offenders under 16 years. However, a court may impose an attendance centre order from 10 years or a supervision order for offenders aged between 10 and 17. Community service and combination orders are currently only available as penalties for imprisonable offences.
