Holds Meeting O' u -, rt M fUkrf nub 'à m wi siwSÿ- Bowmanville Rotary Club President A1 Strike welcomes guest speaker John Chalmers to a meeting of the club last Thursday, September 27. Mr. Chalmers, who is a lawyer with the Ministry of the Solicitor General, spoke to members about implications of new legislation governing young offenders. offenders. The recent Young Offenders Offenders Act will have a major impact on the way in which society treats law-breakers aged 17 years and under. Members of the Bowmanville Bowmanville Rotary Club learned about the implications of the new legislation last week when the guest speaker was John Chalmers, Chalmers, counsel for the Ontario Ontario Ministry of the Solicitor Solicitor General. Mr. Chalmers has a unique perspective on the issue of law enforcement, having served 16 years as a member of the Ontario Provincial Provincial Police before becoming becoming a lawyer and joining the Ministry of the Solicitor General. The guest speaker noted that offenders used to be subject to the Juvenile Delinquents Delinquents Act which was in force since 1908, This Act was based on the principle thatyoungpeople who committed an offence were misguided children who needed help from the community in order to mend their ways. But the Young Offenders' Act will change the old legislation. Part of its provisions provisions are already in place, having been in operation since spring of this year. The second portion of the Act is scheduled to come into force in April of 1985. Mr. Chambers explained that the Act considers individuals individuals between 12 and 17 to be responsible for their actions. However, this accountability accountability is not quite equal to the accountability expected of an adult. Children less than twelve years old are not considered considered to be accountable for their actions. Moreover, youths cannot be punished for actions such as anti-social anti-social behavior or immoral conduct not mentioned in the Criminal Code. Nevertheless, the young person who commits an offence offence has the same rights as anyone over 18. For example, example, he or she may be represented represented by a lawyer at any stage of the proceedings. Parents cannot over-ride a child's right to a lawyer. He noted, however, that parents have rights to court proceedings as well. They are deemed to have the prime responsibility for care and supervision of their children. That means they may appear in court and make submissions. Another change in the rules means that juvenile courts which were once held in camera are now open to the public. This means a citizen has a right to attend proceedings. News media may attend, but they cannot name young people involved in a crime, nor can they print information information which may identify an offender. A judge may order the court closed to the public if he should decide that a public public hearing may be harmful to someone accused or to some other young person involved involved in the proceedings. The new legislation provides provides for specific maximum sentences which can be imposed imposed by the judge. It also provides for maximum fines for any offence. "It is from this point onward onward comes a much more detailed and specific way of treating young people," Mr. Chalmers said.
