Overview of the Youth Justice Process

You deny you committed the crime, or the offence is serious. You appear in the Youth Court again, so the judge can decide if the Police have proved that you committed the crime. You appear in the Youth Court for the first time and face the charge. The Police arrest you. The Police dont arrest you. Someone has committed a crime. The Police know about it and believe you did it. ycflowchart1.jpg

After the Family Group Conference

 

The judge says you must obey the plan agreed at the family group conference. You are convicted and your case goes to the District Court so you can be sentenced (but only in special cases, and only if you are 15 or over). ycflowchart3.jpg (25447 bytes)
