Prevention Working Group – established April 2003
Currently a small group of Alliance and community members is looking
specifically at the prevention and early intervention aspects of the
new Youth Criminal Justice Act. This working group intends to compliment
the actions of another local committee, the Justice Advisory Group that
is working to smoothly implement the act locally. Together, these two
groups will provide a comprehensive view of how we can best serve the
interests of the whole community by addressing youth crime in a manner
that respects the integrity and developmental maturity of young people,
while holding them appropriately responsible for their actions.
Minutes of the Prevention Working Group
meetings are available below.
