Review Quotes:
" Implementing and Working with the Youth Criminal Justice Act across Canada achieves its purpose of elucidating the complex nature of the YCJA through its inter-provincial/territorial approach...This book is a valuable read for anyone seeking to understand the youth criminal justice system because, as this collection demonstrates, the national perspective cannot tell the whole story due to the widely centralized and decentralized implementation strategies."
