Thus, extrajudicial measures aim to hold a young person accountable without proceeding through the formal court process. For more information, see the Youth Criminal Justice Act Summary and Background or the full text of the YCJA.

The Youth Criminal Justice Act (YCJA) aims to increase the use of effective and timely non-court responses for less serious youth offences.
