Youth Justice Committees
The Youth Justice Committee will address racialized youth, aged 12-17 and provide extrajudicial measures that focus on restorative justice for non-violent crimes and misdemeanors. The committee will consist of trained individuals from the racialized community meeting with the youth and victims and their parents/guardians or support members to negotiate ways to amend their actions. Working in conjunction with criminal justice professionals, youth will develop accountable measures as an alternative to formal court proceedings.
