DID YOU KNOW? For 8 of the 9 most common crimes in youth court, youth got longer periods of custody than adults who got custody for the same crime. Youth generally spent more time in custody than adults with similar sentences due to the terms for an adult conditional release.... Eighty percent of custodial sentences for youth were for non-violent offences. Almost half of youth sentenced to custody were given custody because they failed to comply with a disposition order, or settlement. They were brought back to court on a breach. A breach is when a youth fails to obey what has been ordered in court. For instance, the youth may have a curfew or an order not to drink, but is caught past his or her curfew or caught drinking.
