Youths, under the age of eighteen can be charged with criminal offences just like adults. They are bound by the same laws and held accountable for their actions when they commit a crime as defined in the Criminal Code of Canada.
While the law, as governed by the Youth Criminal Justice Act (YCJA), does distinguish between a youth offender and an adult offender, it is still important that a youth have a Toronto criminal defence lawyer represent their interests.
