Non-Residential Attendance Center

The Non-Residential Attendance Centre (NRAC) is a sentencing option defined in the Youth Criminal Justice Act that is available through direct sentencing by the Youth Court or by means of referral by a probation officer through a general counselling condition of a probation order. This program is part of a plan implemented by the Youth Justice Services division of the Ministry of Children, Community and Social Services to decrease reliance on custody sentences and provide effective community-based programming for medium to high risk youth. The goal of this program is to reduce offending behaviour by addressing specific, identified risks amongst individual youth by means of cognitive based programming targeting those criminogenic need areas.
