36 Purpose of an order
(1)The purpose of a community correction order is to provide a community based sentence that may be used for a wide range of offending behaviours while having regard to and addressing the circumstances of the offender.
(2)Without limiting when a community correction order may be imposed, it may be an appropriate sentence where, before the ability of the court to impose a suspended sentence was abolished, the court may have imposed a sentence of imprisonment and then suspended in whole that sentence of imprisonment.
