This Study observed cases of young graduates to Community Service Program (CBS), in order to identify effective practices in the context of this sanction. By a logistic regression method, it was possible to predict the odds to meet the goals of the CBS Program, according to the intervention features developed by professionals. Young people serving in close connection with the community (recreational / volunteers) are five times more likely to achieve the goals of the intervention, than those serving low-community ties activities (office work / restoration of public infrastructure). The results provide empirical evidence for the CBS restorative potential, when its execution or implementation obtains the young-community bonds restoration, destroyed by the commission of the crime.
