30/1: ทำงานบริการสังคมแทนค่าปรับ

คำแปลภาษาอังกฤษ

Where the court imposes a fine, a person sentenced to the fine who is not a juristic person and who has no money to pay it may file a motion with the court of first instance that gave judgment, asking to perform social service work or work for the public benefit in place of the fine. Alternatively, if it appears to the court at the time of giving judgment that a person sentenced to a fine falls within the criteria for performing such work under this Section, and if that person consents, the court may order that person to perform social service work or work for the public benefit in place of the fine.
In considering a motion under paragraph one, when the court has considered the financial position, the personal history, and the nature of the offence of the person sentenced to the fine and thinks it appropriate, the court may order that person to perform social service work or work for the public benefit in place of the fine, under the supervision of a probation officer, a State official, a State agency, or an organisation whose object is social service, public charity, or the public benefit and which consents to supervise.
Where the court orders a person sentenced to a fine to perform such work, the court shall fix the nature or type of work, the person supervising it, the day on which it is to begin, the period of the work, and the number of hours to be counted as one day's work, having regard also to the sex, age, personal history, religion, conduct, intelligence, education and training, health, mental condition, disposition, occupation, environment, or the nature of the offence of that person; and the court may fix any condition for that person to comply with in order to correct or rehabilitate that person, or to prevent that person from committing an offence again.
If it later appears to the court that the circumstances relating to that person's social service work or work for the public benefit have changed, the court may amend or vary the order it has made as it thinks fit.
In fixing the period of work in place of the fine under paragraph three, the provisions of Section 30 shall apply mutatis mutandis; and where the court has not ordered the person to work continuously, the work must be completed within two years from the day on which it begins as fixed by the court.
For the purpose of fixing the number of hours of work under paragraph three, the President of the Supreme Court has the power to issue a regulation of the judicial service of the Courts of Justice fixing the number of hours to be counted as one day's work for each type of social service work or work for the public benefit, as the President thinks fit.
