The Great Young Offenders Act Debate:
Since it took effect in 1984, few pieces of federal legislation have been as controversial as the Young Offenders Act (YOA). Despite official statistics indicating a recent decline in overall youth crime, there appears to be a widespread perception that the crimes committed by youth have become more violent, and that existing youth justice legislation does little to prevent crime or to protect the public. This site is a gateway to the controversy, and provides information, cases, links and materials.
