A32 - Wednesday, April 4, 1984 - North Shore News

By JOANNE MacDONALD

AFTER 18 YEARS of
planning, the highly-
touted Young Offenders
Act went into effect
April 1, despite objec-
tions from the B.C.
government and others.

The Act, which replaces the
outdated Juvenile Delin-
quents Act, makes sweeping
procedural changes and, in
the most publicized move,
creates a uniform maximum
age for juveniles across
Canada effective Apml 1,
1985, when at age 18 young
offenders will be dealt with in
adult courts instead of youth
courts,

Henry Mathias, the Pro
yect. Director, Young Ot
fenders Act Implementation,
in the Corrections Branch of
the Attorney General in Van
couver, says philosophically
the YOA moves from “a
child welfare view of delin
quent to a view of a young
person as an offender hic
adds the move will result ina
more exhaustive procedural!
handling of individual cases

Mathias says the
most significant changes
from the old Juvenile Delin

among

quents, as Che new provision
that young offenders now
have an absolute righ 1
