Youth Criminal Justice Law. Essentials of Canadian Law

Overview

This timely book, by one of Canada's leading scholars of youth justice, is a succinct and authoritative introduction to an important, controversial area of Canadian law. Our response to young persons who violate criminal law is profoundly significant not simply for those who are directly involved in the process, but also for society as a whole. The focus of the book is on the new Youth Criminal Justice Act (Bill C - 7), which replaced the Young Offenders Act in April of 2003. This new statute is a complex piece of legislation that changes many of the fundamental principles and specific rules that govern youth justice issues, while at the same time continuing some of the features of the old law. As well as examining the new statute, the book also provides a discussion of the broader political and social issues that affect families and youth, and it explores some of the ethical and practical issues that confront lawyers and other professionals working in the youth justice system.
