When the court has made the determination that the minor has incurred an offense, it may impose any of the following resolutory measures:
(a) Nominal.— Offer the minor guidance, making him aware of how censurable his conduct is, but without imposing conditions on his freedom, and of the possible consequences if he continues said conduct.

(1) To report periodically to the Family Relations Technician and comply with the rehabilitation program prepared by him.
(2) To prohibit certain acts or companions.
(3) To order restitution to the affected party in accordance with the regulations promulgated to such effects.
(4) Order the minor to perform community service in those cases in which an offense is committed that entails the imposition of a resolutory measure of six (6) months or less, provided that there is no violation to the provisions of law that govern the work of minors in Puerto Rico.
(5) Order the minor to pay the special penalty established in § 3214 of Title 33, for the criminal conduct described in § 981d of Title 25, known as the “Crime Victims Compensation Act”.
