John Howard Society of Ontario

In this two year project, the Centre of Research, Policy & Program Development at the John Howard Society of Ontario, with the active support of Legal Aid Ontario and the Canadian Civil Liberties Association, and further assistance from the Canadian Mental Health Association Ontario and Justice for Children and Youth, will develop and execute a research, education, and policy initiative on youth bail in Ontario. This initiative will address the gaps and barriers in accessing reasonable and timely bail for youth in Ontario and develop evidence-based solutions to the problems.
