More than 82,000 community service hours have been wiped between January and August this year, with the Government claiming Covid reasons.
Corrections Minister Kelvin Davis says the majority of sentences that had their community hours cut were for "minor offending" - but questions have been asked as to whether delays of sentences that meant offenders would still have to carry out their hours may have been more appropriate.
Victims' advocate Ruth Money joined Kate Hawkesby.
