Youth Justice Ages of Criminal Responsibility Rights of Youth Trial Procedures Sentencing Issue: Should Violent Students be Expelled from School

Young Offender 0-11 is classified as a child and has no responsibility for actions. There is some debate on wanting to lower the age to 7 to be held accountable for crimes. According to the Youth Criminal Justice Act, a young person between the ages of who committed a criminal offence is known as a young offender Anyone 18 and older who commits a criminal offence is considered an adult and faces adult trial procedures and penalties

Youth Criminal Justice Act Stiffer penalties and sentences for violent youth crimes Youth justice court judges must impose a period of supervision in the community for youths who serve time in custody Any youth over the age of 14 who committed a violent act can be treated and sentenced as an adult

Rights of Youth Police do not have to arrest, they can talk to them, but will record it in case the youth gets in trouble again Nonviolent First time Offenders Extra-judicial sanctions Alternate Measures Program

Arrest and Detention If a youth is arrested, they have the same legal rights as listed in the Charter They must be informed of their rights. Youths are often released into custody of parents or sent to foster homes. Sometimes they are place on house arrest where they have to remain at home during certain hours or are monitored with an electric device. Youths are kept separate from adult offenders as much as possible. Parents are notified as soon as possible after a child is detained or arrested. They are often ordered to attend all hearings or will be found in contempt of court.

Trial Procedures Youths aged are tried in family court Youths are tried in Provincial court A judge alone conducts all trials and there are NO jury trials. The intent of the youth justice system is to deal with all youth as rapidly as possible

Privacy YCJA lets public and media attend trials/ hearings, but not release names year olds who are convicted of serious crimes may be named and if they are at large, their photographs may be released.
