Time Line of “Fair & Equitable” in Canada Juvenile Delinquents Act: 1908-1984 Young Offenders Act: 1984-2003 YCJA: 2003-Present

Juvenile Delinquents Act: 1908 – 1984 Children 7-13 were usually not charged for criminal offenses Believed they could not understand the seriousness of their actions If it could be proved that a child could form criminal intent, he or she would be charged and tried in the same courts as adults 14 or older Tried in adult courts and were subject to the same penalties as adults: hanging, whipping, or imprisonment. Forced to serve their sentences alongside adult offenders in typically filthy, over-crowded prisons.

Young Offenders Act: 1984-2003 In 1984 Young Offenders Act replaced the Juvenile Delinquents Act. Provincial offences were to be dealt with under separate provincial legislation. Created a separate court system and process for dealing with crimes committed by youths. The term “juvenile delinquent” was no longer used in legal documents and actions and the term “young offender” was adopted. The Young Offenders Act stipulated a minimum age of 12 and maximum age of 17 throughout Canada.
