Fail to Comply with Probation

OFFENCE

When an accused person is convicted of an offence, one of the many sentencing options available to the judge is a term of probation. As part of that probation, the judge may impose a number of different conditions on the accused person to be followed over the probationary period.

Some of the conditions, such as keep the peace and be of good behaviour, or report to a probation officer, are mandatory.

Other conditions will depend on the particular circumstances of the accused and the offence in question. Examples of conditions that may be imposed include:

to participate in some requisite form of counselling,

to pay restitution to the victim,

to perform community service,

not to associate with certain named persons, or

not to attend at certain locations.
