Young Offenders Act

There are several reasons why I write articles about the juvenile crime bill. One is I'm a proxy for the future, and in the next brush record of Justin Faviere, you can easily grasp the fate of the 11th grade English credit. Secondly, I do not understand the benefits of the bill, or people who can not agree with me, whether or not there is imperfection, the "juvenile criminal law" is important to our judicial system Educate to be part. I forgot to mention important things, but I can educate other people of ourselves why they think we should not have a juvenile crime bill.

The Juvenile Offender Act is a federal law targeting young people suspected of crime. Before April 2, 1984, there was no "Youth Criminal Law" in Canada. Instead, "Used since 1908" "Youth Crime Law" was used to handle young criminals. The main idea of ​​the latter bill is to tackle the welfare of children. In April 1984, the Juvenile Crime Law was enacted and one of the major changes is the philosophy of dealing with young criminals. The Juvenile Offender Act, in some cases (Judge), recognizes that young offenders can not be recovered and that they may lead to long-term imprisonment rather than a further rehabilitation attempt. Therefore, the "Youth Criminal Law" covers not only the welfare of children but also social welfare.

According to the Juvenile Offenses Act (1908), Juvenile Offenses Act (1984) and Juvenile Criminal Justice Act (2003) in the past century, Canada is increasingly aware of the need to treat young offenders. The method is different from that of adults. Recognizing the special needs of young people, each of these acts is designed to reduce the focus on punishing juvenile offenders and focus on further rehabilitation. In addition, in the Juvenile Criminal Justice Act (YCJA), juvenile offenders are considered suspects of special categories and very stringent rules apply to the arrest, interrogation or interrogation process of young offenders. For example, if a teenager is investigated or a criminal action is filed, YCJA obliges parents or guardians to notify and join. Similarly, all young people must explain the rights of their charters in a language appropriate for their age and level of understanding.
