Youth Criminal Justice Act (YCJA) The YCJA was created in order to ensure that the consequences for young people who break the law are balanced. One of the principles of the YCJA is that while young people must be held accountable for their actions, they should not be treated the same as adults.
(15) Subject to subsection (16), if more than one youth sentence is imposed under this section in respect of a young person with respect to different offences, the continuous combined duration of those youth sentences shall not exceed three years, except if one of the offences is first degree or second degree
It was criticized on many counts: for being too soft on the offender; for lacking a clear philosophy on youth justice in Canada; for inconsistent and unfair sentences; for not properly addressing serious and violent offences; for an overuse of the court system; and for not giving enough recognition to the victims.
The majority of youth crime is minor and non- violent, with theft under and over $5,000 being the most common crimes committed by youth. The most common violent offence committed by youth is a minor assault.
A child cannot be criminally charged if they are 12-years-old or younger. Children between the ages of 12 and 18 can face charges under the Youth Criminal Justice Act and be incarcerated at the discretion of a Youth Court judge An judge who conducts youth court proceedings.
