The Youth Criminal Justice Act in Canada governs the prosecution of young persons from the age of 12 to 17. A young person is treated differently than an adult who is prosecuted for a criminal offence. The regime that governs young offenders is different and it is important that you know your rights. Being released on bail is much easier if you are a young offender. The parents of a young offender have to be notified if their child is being prosecuted for a criminal offence. If your child or loved one has been charged with a criminal offence under the Youth Criminal Justice Act it is imperative that you speak to an experienced criminal lawyer immediately.
