What processing path do I wish to take? Diversion is allowed for Administration of Justice Offences to a Sanctions program.*Changes made under bill C-75 amended the YCJA such that it deems that Extrajudicial Measures (Sanctions) are adequate unless the Young Person has a history of repetitive failures OR the young person's failure or refusal caused harm, or a risk of harm, to the safety of the public (s. 4.1(1) YCJA). Conditions may not be imposed on a Young Person's release such that they are a substitue for appropriate child protection, mental health or other social measures (s. 28.1 YCJA). Administration of Justice Offences are those offences where there is a breach to a condition of either release or sentence. Pursuant to section 4.1 (1) YCJA, Extrajudicial Measures are presumed to be adequate to hold a young person accountable for a failure or refusal referred to in section 137 and for a failure referred to in section 496 of the Criminal Code unless (a) the young person has a history of repetitive failures or refusals; or (b) the young person’s failure or refusal caused harm, or a risk of harm, to the safety of the public.

I don’t know what the best course of action is.
Has the Young Person been advised of their right to Counsel?*Ensure that the Young Person has had their right to counsel explained to them. If they are being charged with an offence and immediately released, a Written Notice to Parent is required. If they are being transported to cells, a Verbal Notice to Parent is required. After being properly cautioned, a Young Person may waive their right to consult counsel and/or a parent or other appropriate adult or to have them present during the providing of a statement. Any such waiver must be recorded pursuant to section 146 YCJA or written in a statement signed by the Young Person section 146 YCJA and 42 YJA.
- Yes
- No
I have now advised the Young Person of their right to speak with counsel, parent, or any other appropriate adult of their choosing.*Ensure that the Young Person has had their right to counsel explained to them. If they are being charged with an offence and immediately released, a Written Notice to Parent is required. If they are being transported to cells, a Verbal Notice to Parent is required.

Is the Young Person being accused of an offence where the punishment has a maximum term of 5 years or more?*A serious offence means an indictable offence under an Act of Parliament for which the maximum punishment is imprisonment for 5 years or more. A serious violent offence includes: First or Second-degree murder, attempt to commit murder, manslaughter, or aggravated sexual assault. These offences are not eligible for Extrajudicial Sanctions.
- Yes
- No
Has the Young Person provided a statement in relation to the offence? Admissions for the purpose of determining diversion options are inadmissible as evidence.*The standard police caution is insufficient for Young Persons. Section 146 YCJA and 32 YJA require that a caution and waiver be given in a language appropriate to the Young Person's age and understanding. The caution and waiver must be given at the time of arrest, and when a statement is obtained. Record in your notes, verbatim, the Young Person's response. If a Young Person makes a statement and indicates they did not do the offence, they are not eligible for Extrajudicial Measures or Extrajudicial Sanctions (s. 10(3) YCJA). Any admission, confession, or statement made by a Young Person as a condition of being dealt with by Extrajudicial Measures is inadmissible in evidence against any Young Person in civil or criminal proceedings (s. 10(4) YCJA).
- Yes

A Cautioned and Warned Statement may be used in evidence. Youth have the full right to consult or have counsel, a parent, any other appropriate adult be present during the taking of a statement unless the youth chooses otherwise.*A youth is under no obligation to make a statement, any statement given may be used in evidence against them, they have the full right to counsel and a parent, or any other appropriate adult, and any statement made must be made in the presence of counsel a parent or any other appropriate adult unless they desire otherwise.

- Proceed to Next Question
Has the Young Person committed an offence where they can not be adequately dealt with by a Warning, Caution, or Referral to a community program because of the seriousness of the offence, the nature and number of previous offences committed or any other aggravating circumstances, but where charging the youth is not warranted?If the youth has had a previous Gateway referral, they are not eligible to be enrolled in that program. For a Gateway referral, the young person is not eligible if the offence is of a violent nature. If the youth has had a previous Sanctions referral, they are allowed to participate twice without being charged. If this is the young persons third offence within diversion, they must be charged. If you believe that the young person would benefit from a diversion option select YES. For CPS, Cautions are not currently used.
- Yes
- No
No – means that you believe the Young Person should be referred to a community program.
The Young Person accepts responsibility for the act that forms the basis of the offence.*Application of an Extrajudicial Measure is not dependent on the Young Person admitting responsibility for the offence. However, Extrajudicial Sanctions may not be used in respect of a Young Person who denies participation in the involvement in the commission of the offence or wishes to have the charge dealt with by a Youth Justice Court (s. 10(3) YCJA).
- Yes
- No
Is the Young Person a first or second time offender who has been alleged to have committed an eligible offence? Answer NO if the Young Person has been diverted 3 or more times.*A Young Person who has been previously found guilty of; a Criminal Code or Controlled Drugs and Substances Act offence, or who has been previously enrolled in the Extrajudicial Sanctions Program. If Alternative Measures or a "Caution Letter" has been given by the Crown, these are also deemed to be prior extrajudicial sanctions. In CPS Sentry, a previous diversionary referral will have a flag of "YD" on the names list.
- Yes
- No
Is the Young Person alleged to have committed an offence where they have failed to abide by conditions of a Probation Order (s. 137 YJA) or a failure to abide by a release condition (s. 496 CC)?*Changes made under bill C-75 amended the YCJA such that it deems that Extrajudicial Measures (Sanctions) are adequate unless the Young Person has a history of repetitive failures OR the young person's failure or refusal caused harm, or a risk of harm, to the safety of the public (s. 4.1(1) YCJA). Conditions may not be imposed on a Young Person's release such that they are a substitue for appropriate child protection, mental health or other social measures (s. 28.1 YCJA). Administration of Justice Offences are those offences where there is a breach to a condition of either release or sentence. Pursuant to section 4.1 (1) YCJA, Extrajudicial Measures are presumed to be adequate to hold a young person accountable for a failure or refusal referred to in section 137 and for a failure referred to in section 496 of the Criminal Code unless (a) the young person has a history of repetitive failures or refusals; or (b) the young person’s failure or refusal caused harm, or a risk of harm, to the safety of the public.
- Yes
- No
Does the Young Person's failure or refusal to follow conditions cause harm, the risk of harm, to the safety of the public?*
- Yes
- No
Does the Young Person have a history of repetitive failures or refusals to abide by conditions?*If a Young Person has committed 2 or more breaches, or has committed a breach and another offence, this counts as more than 2 offences and charges may be laid.
- Yes
- No
Are Extrajudicial Sanctions appropriate due to exceptional circumstances?*The YCJA, which came into force in 2003, has reduced the over-use of the formal court system and of custody for youth (65% reduction in youth custody). The YCJA contemplates alternatives to charging for less serious offences (such as Administration of Justice Offences "AOJOs"), including requiring police officers to consider using non-charge options or “extrajudicial measures” before deciding to charge a young person. The Act aims to reduce over-reliance on custody by reserving custodial sentences primarily for violent and serious repeat offenders. The YCJA also emphasizes the importance of timely intervention with youth, given that youths’ perception of time is different than adults’ and that the ability of a young person to appreciate the connection between offending behaviour and its consequences weakens the longer the proceedings take to complete. Despite the YCJA’s clear direction, cases in which an AOJO is the most serious offence are disproportionately dealt with through police charging, prosecution and custody sentences. AOJOs contribute to the overrepresentation of vulnerable young people, particularly Indigenous youth, in the youth justice system. The aim of the YCJA amendments is to strengthen aspects of the current YCJA so that AOJOs occur less frequently, will most often be dealt with through extrajudicial measures or by a judicial review process, and will be less likely to result in custody.
- Yes
- No
If reasonable grounds do not exist to believe the youth is responsible for the offence, they may not be referred or charged.
