In order to respond intelligently to it and to evaluatethe response of the state two sets of information must be understood. Firstsociety must try to understand what youth crime looks like in Canada. Secondin order to understand ? and evaluate ? the changes that are being made inyouth justice legislation in Canada a clear understanding of the manner inwhich the youth justice system currently operates is necessary.
