About this service
Based on restorative justice principles, the CYJP provides a viable and effective alternative to the court system for offences committed by youth. We used trained facilitators and a resolution conference approach to involve all parties in processes to 'right the wrong'. We accept referrals from both police and Crown on matters relating to youth offences.
Typical offences that are referred to the CYJP are theft, possession of stolen property; mischief, break and enter, assault, robbery, taking a motor vehicle without consent, etc.
If you are the victim, parent or youth directly involved in a criminal incident, and would like to explore a restorative alternative to the youth criminal justice system, you might mention this to the police officer in charge of your case.
While the decision rests exclusively with the investigating officer, your willingness to utilize our program might be an important consideration.
