The Youth CriminalJusticeAct is a piece of Canadian legislation passed in 2002 that determines the way in which youths are prosecuted under Canada's criminaljustice system.
The YCJA replaced the controversial Young Offenders Act which had previously regulated youth crime in Canada.
The new act borrowed many of its predecessor's principles, as well as Canada's repealed 1908 Juvenile Delinquents Act.
