This special edition scratches the surface of youth justice issues.<br />
We hope it piques your interest to learn more, as the <strong>Society</strong><br />
increasingly engages with young people across the province. If<br />
lawyers, judges and public servants better understand their needs<br />
and concerns in this era of rapid change, it can only strengthen<br />
the administration of justice, fix gaps and improve opportunities<br />
for the next generation.<br />
The Nunn Commission’s recommendations are taking root, with<br />
new prosecutors dedicated solely to youth court matters and the<br />
<strong>No</strong>va <strong>Scotia</strong> Child and Youth Strategy picking up steam in its<br />
second year (read “Our Kids are Worth It,” the progress report at<br />
gov.ns.ca/coms). Renowned local experts Stan Kutcher, Michael<br />
Ungar and others are leading the way in youth research.<br />
Including young voices in the conversation is vital – “if it’s about<br />
us, don’t do it without us,” says it all.<br />
