Document Summary

As young people grow, their actions change: crime funnel, of all the crimes actually committed, only a small portion are ever reported to police. As cases move through the justice system that funnel narrows: e. g. Of all the ones that are reported, a smaller are prosecuted, a smaller amount are charged, a smaller amount are incarcerated, etc: administrative variation, despite criminal law being a national/federal concept in. Canada, there is still some variation how the ycja is applied in various jurisdictions. Individual officers can apply the law differently depending on their role and their area: data gathering, when submitting forms for crime, they have to choose what they include etc, reporting. 3: young women who commit crimes not only commit the crime but also violate the gender role expectations, because they are not supposed to be committing crimes. They should be home baking etc. (1970 time definition)
