Would a manadatory volunteer program in your city be a positive reinforcement for good behavior?

Picture this if you will.

At some point in your early 20s, it is required that you do a mandatory volunteer program in your community for say, 1 month.

Some of these examples would be:
*Ride-along with the Police Dept.
*Be a Volunteer Firefighter
*Help out at the courthouse
*Adopt a Highway
*Big brother Big Sister Program
*United Way
*Salvation Army

I feel that if our younger generation got to experience some of these things, we “May have” less crime. They would understand more of what it feels like to work for something and to take care of something or someone.

Your thoughts?
