A sentence is the punishment the court passes on an offender after they are found guilty, or plead guilty. The judge will decide on what the sentence is: it can involve going to prison, or doing work in the community or paying a fine. The judge often gets the probation or the YOT to write a PSR to help decide what the sentence should be.
