What are youth offences?

The Youth Criminal Justice Act (YCJA) applies to young persons between 12 and 17 who have been charged with a criminal offence. Specifically, individuals under the age of 12 cannot be convicted of a criminal offence in Canada. The YCJA also outlines specific ways that young offenders are to be treated which often differs from adults. Generally, the main focuse of the Act is to promote the rehabilitation and reintegration of young people into society.

YCJA Key Principles:
Consequences that promote responsibility and accountability.
Ensure punishments are proportionate to the level of responsibility and the seriousness of the offences.
Promote the rehabilitation and reintegration of young people into society.
Aim to prevent further crime through the use of community programs.
Evidently, provide stronger procedural protections and a wider right to privacy.
Youth Offences can be serious charges which can result in serious penalties if convicted.

   I reached out to Alex seeking advice when I was on the receiving end of criminal harassment. Alex openly acknowledged his specialization is a Criminal Defence Lawyer. Nevertheless, he provided me with straightforward & honest guidance on how to proceed. He not only steered me in the right direction, he also referred me to another lawyer (highly) capable of handling my situation. He even ensured to follow up to see if I received a call. It is patently clear that Alex has a strong sense of integrity, demonstrated by his response. Therefore, I highly recommend his services. Thank you, Alex.

   We’ve worked with Alex and could not ask for a more professional and understanding experience. Communication was very clear with him. He explained our situation to us and what needs to be done. Hopefully we won’t have to but if there’s ever need for legal help again, we’re coming right back to Alex.
