Daniel, a 14-year-old, is convicted of a public order offence - HSC - SSCE Legal Studies - Question 12 - 2015 - Paper 1

Given Daniel's age and that this is his first recorded conviction, the most likely penalty is (D) Community service. For young offenders, community service is often seen as a constructive penalty that helps them learn accountability while serving their community. Other options like caution or warning tend to be more informal and may not be appropriate for a conviction. Additionally, probation usually follows more serious offenses or repeated offenses, which doesn't apply in this case.
