"The protection of society from illegal , behavior is a serious matter," said Keyes. "In the meantime we are coping with the •problems:. as they; arise. Police, the courts and ,correctional: officials have demonstrated their commitment to the spirit: of the. actby coming up with positive, innovative solutions." One such solution, said Keyes, is pro- viding a secure custody program for selected young offenders on an interim basis at the Bluewater facility. Police and the public have objected to several provisions in the act especially the prohibition against identifying young of- fenders by name, which they say is hampering police investigations. of those who have already been convicted of a prior offence. Concern has also been expressed about the legislation . which prohibit;, a child under the age of 12 from being charged with a criminal offence regardless of the crime committed: The logistics of housing accused young people in separate remand facilities for 16 and 17 year olds is placing heavy transportation demands on some local police forces,acid the courts have ex- perienced some difficulties in interpreting the act. "We find it somewhat disheartening that we are seeing as we saw when they were treated as adults, that some 16 and 17 year old offenders have already established crime dependent lifestyles. Some, who have previously been dealt with by the courts as adults, are taking their treat- ment under the young offenders act less than seriously." said Keyes. The impact of community interaction on the efforts made witli these young people is something the Ministry of Correctional Services looks forward to with great ex- citement and hope, said Keyes. The oppor- tunities for direct involvement in correc- tions by citizen volunteers is substantial.
