1st of January 2010 a new Greenlandic criminal code came in to force. The new criminal code also opened for a brand new sanction; community service, which never had been used in the Greenlandic society. The paper will describe the purpose of community service, the elements which make the sanction specific attractive in a Greenlandic context, and enforcement of the sanction in practice. Furthermore the paper will present results from a qualitative study about the first experiences with community service in Greenland.
