UK REFORM PARTY re Young Offenders’ Act should be repealed and replaced with an Act which stipulates that young persons have a responsibility, and an obligation to the larger society Changes to the Act should include: e The Young Offenders’ Act should include only those offenders charged with committing a crime which occurred between their 10th and 16th birthdays ¢ Offenders aged 14 and 15 who are repeat indictable offenders should automatically be transferred to adult court ; © The public, including the news media, should have automatic access to Young Offender Court when they are trying 14 and 15 year olds. ¢ The parents or guardians of Young Offenders should be held legally liable for providing compen- sation to victims in cases where it can be demonstrated that lack of parental control was a factor con tributing to the offense ¢ Incarcerated Young Offenders should be housed in institutions offering a structured and disciplined environment which places heavy emphasis on educational upgrading e Retention and reporting of offender records under the Young Offenders’ Act should be amended to conform to other (adult) criminal records. This requires a clean re for five years to have the record destroyed These are only the major high lights. | would be pleased to clabo further to individuals or groups rate any interested ROSS GREEN P, he Young Offender Act replaced the Juve nile Delinquents Act which was considered inadequate because, among other things, it used police and courts as parental authorities over delin quent children The YOA says that young per which they did the JDA responsibilities, but less than adult sons have rights not have’ under and persons. Hence, youth have the right to retain counsel, like adults but when convicted, have shorter sentences. Both acts struggle to tind the right balance between rights and responsibilities Youth are treated under the YOA as adults, but on a lesser scale. It seems to Greens that it is better to teat young offenders as children in need of parenting, either from their own parents with necessary sup- port, or from substitute parents where home conditions warrant Many young offenders have been victims of sexual abuse. They need special counselling and therapy, not the threat of incarceration Legal institutions are no substi- tute for creating important things for youth to do and be. Greens support environmentally meaning- ful projects for the young We advocate lowering the voting High age in selected areas school students should have the right ¢ vote tor their own school boards That is real responsibility.
