Ontario Security Guard License Practice Test

Under the Youth Criminal Justice Act in Canada, a 'Young Person' refers to an individual who is at least 12 years old but less than 18 years old. This is laid out explicitly in the act, and it means that any criminal offences committed by an individual within this age range may be processed under the provisions of this act. It's therefore correct to say that, according to this regulation, a 'Young Person' can be charged with a criminal offence from the ages of 12-17 years of age.
