Youth diversion program may lessen juvenile crimes in Ontario
The Youth Pre-Charge Diversion Program was recently launched in Toronto -- similar to the Ottawa Community Youth Diversion Program.

However, offenders will know that, if they fail to complete the program, they may have to face criminal charges.
