province mulls youth crime act modeled on Toronto program
Justice Minister Gord Mackintosh considers extending a under twelve outreach method to preteen offenders. Toronto's Earlscourt centre provides parenting training, voluntary programs, and after school activities with about 80 youths yearly, arguing cost per child is offset by avoided incarceration. The plan is in information gathering, with possible Ontario style Children Committing Offences Act as a model.
