Youth Justice Committee

Trained community members who meet with victims, youth 12-17, accused of minor, non-violent offences and their parents, to negotiate an appropriate way for the youth to make amends for their actions. The Committee may develop and implement alternatives to formal court proceedings, either on referral by police or the Crown. Alternate interventions include community service, restitution, and counselling programs. All youth must accept responsibility for their actions, and apologize to the victim.
