Mandate

The Government of Canada's Youth Justice Renewal Initiative is aimed at establishing a fair and effective youth justice system in Canada. The Initiative is supported by new legislation and encourages partnerships with the provinces and territories, the legal and police sectors, and community organizations.

Youth Justice Renewal Initiative is more than legislation. It is an Initiative that looks beyond legislation and the youth justice system to explore how society as a whole can address youth crime and its associated factors.

The Initiative is based on three key directions:

1. prevention;
2. meaningful consequences for youth crime;
3. intensified rehabilitation and reintegration to help youth safely return to their communities.
