Will punishing vandals with community service instead of monetary fines make them learn their lesson?

In 1989, Cabrini was among the leaders of institutions of higher education to make community service a focal point of its curriculum. Why not take the college's pledge to community service and create Cabrini service? With Cabrini service, residents who damage property will be assigned an act of service to campus. No longer will innocent residents have to factor into their budgets the carelessness of their peers, and campus will become a cleaner place because students will learn to respect what they have.

As Cabrini plans considerable growth, it is time to start fixing problems and not just holes in the wall.
