When the young person is dealt with outside of the formal court process
Extrajudicial Measures and Extrajudicial Sanctions
Youth in these programs take responsibility for their actions and develop skills to reduce the chance that they will get in trouble again. A young person might:
- get counselling to help deal with problems such as drug abuse
- volunteer in the community
- repair or pay for damaged or stolen property
- write an apology
- take a program such as anger management.
Restorative Justice Programs
Interventions are provided to the youth, victims, the family and the community to repair the harm done, support rehabilitation and prevent future harm.
