Document Summary
Happen to be the same issues dealt since the beginning of youth criminal justice. Very controversial among legal practitioners, the public, and the relation bw the legal practitioners and the public. Youth who are 14 years can be transferred to adult court and can receive an adult sentence. If being tried as an adult youre really being sentenced as an adult. Example of investigative protection: letting lawyer with you in your room. The use of statements: additional hurdles the crown needs to get past in order to use statements of a young person. Person of authority is the trigger to make sure duress did not happen under section 146. If committed a severe offence then usually would be sentenced as an adult. Deciding if appropriateness for adult sentenced was only after accused found guilty. Make sure youths rights are protected eg not showing them the consequences of the crime they allegedly committed until they have actually been proven guilty.
