New Brunswick Youth Diversion Model

Diversion programs can ensure the best use of resources by providing effective, efficient and timely alternatives to the traditional criminal justice process.

Overview

Diversion programs have been in operation for youth in New Brunswick since the early 1980s, first through the “Alternative Measures” program under the Young Offenders Act. This program was replaced by “Extrajudicial Measures and Sanctions” in 2003 when the Youth Criminal Justice Act was introduced. The program is now referred to as the Youth Diversion Program.
