New Gang Recruitment Law - Protecting Youth

There’s a new law about to come into play that will punish those found guilty of recruiting young people into gangs. Anyone convicted under Bill C-394 could be put in jail for up to five years. And, the offence would have a mandatory minimum sentence of six months if the person recruited is under the age of 18.

Bill C-394 will give police and justice officials more tools to fight gang recruitment, 
which is – believe it or not – a growing problem in Canada.
