Document Summary

Guest speaker biagio del greco (criminal defence lawyer) When we talk about secondary grounds, a youth can only be detained when they are charged with a serious offence which is an offence that an adult would receive jail time for if he/she was convicted. It is rare if a young offender with no criminal record is to be detained. Whether or not the youth"s offence is considered summary or indictable, they are stuck with the same court; there are no superior court hearings.
