It is our desire to review The Bahamas\’s reform efforts and explore the critical factors surrounding the arrest of youth both for serious violent crimes and for virtually all other categories of offenses.AND BE FURTHER RESOLVED, that this Youth Parliament recognizes that a new and vastly improved juvenile justice system for The Bahamas is within reach, one that holds youth offenders adequately responsible while acknowledging the unique circumstances of victims and we hereby summon the creativity, energy, commitment and cooperation of all members of this youth parliament to do what is best for children, families and their communities.
