Sentencing:
People used to give youth the same punishments as adults now we
don’t, which is good.
Tv influences our perceptions of sentencing because we don’t all

Sentencing is complex and it goes by the charter and the
criminal code
Sentencing Options:
Probation is an option, usually involving:
Community Service Work
Pre-Sentence Report: A report ordered by judges prior to
sentencing to provide a comprehensive overview of an offenders’
strengths and weaknesses, and whether prior justice system
interventions were successful.
Conditional Sentences: Custodial sentences of up to two years
that are served in the community. Offenders who do not meet the
conditions of their release can be returned to court and ordered
to serve the remainder of their sentence in a correctional
center.
Custodial Sentence:
You can get a concurrent or a consecutive sentence
Breach of probation: Occurs when an offender violates the
conditions of their probation.
Failure to comply: Violating the conditions of a probation
order is a criminal offence that can result in additional
charges and further punishments

or the sentence imposed, such as failure to attend court or
