Barrie’s 2023 ThreeBestRated® Criminal Defence Lawyer Explains Youth Criminal Justice Act

We dream of a crime-free world. It is achievable only if the criminal wishes to stop doing offensive activities that affect others. Every criminal deserves a chance to change him/herself and become a responsible citizen of the country, especially youths who have most of their life left to live peacefully. The Canadian government has passed an act for the purpose named The Youth Criminal Justice Act(YCJA) for the welfare of youth offenders by making them contribute to society. Kimberly Miles — Miles Criminal Law, a recent ThreeBestRated® award winner for their contribution in the field of criminal defence has explained in detail about YCJA,

The Youth Criminal Justice Act (YCJA)

The act is an initiative to cultivate the minds of criminal youths and make them understand the values of life and humanity with voluntary activities that make them a contributing member of society. Parental involvement adds more effectiveness to the practice as they guide the youth’s actions. Community assistance through services and programs aims to re-establish their thoughts and lives. The utmost purpose of the act is to,

• Preventing youth from doing criminal activities.

• Assessing them and finding the reasons and counseling them to change their mindset and behavior.

• Rehabilitate them back into society and make them mingle with common people. This helps them become a law-abiding member of society.

• Protection of the public long-term by making youth realize the consequences they might face if they break the law.

Children under 17 and above 12 are dealt with by the regulations of YCJA. Even after becoming 18 before trial or sentencing, YCJA is still applicable to the youth. It is subjective to the seriousness of the case. Children under 12 cannot be charged or tried for criminal offences under YCJA or the criminal code. They should be taken to their parents who can then get help from communities and child welfare organizations, says the expert.
