There is no punishment part of the sentence.
It will result in a criminal record.
It will result in no criminal record.
The accused could be placed on a period of probation with conditions.
Solution
The statement that is not true about a suspended sentence is: "There is no punishment part of the sentence."
A suspended sentence is indeed a form of punishment. It means that the offender is given a prison sentence, but they don't have to serve it unless they break the law again or breach the conditions of their sentence. The other statements are true: a suspended sentence will result in a criminal record, and the accused could be placed on a period of probation with conditions. The statement "It will result in no criminal record" is incorrect because a suspended sentence does indeed result in a criminal record.
