The chiefs gave As a reason their concern about the in creased numbers of Young people involved in vicious and violent crimes and forwarded the recommendation to the Canadian association of chiefs of police which meets in september in Edmonton. Whether there s such an in crease nationally can t be read ily verified by statistics but the records of the Central registry of the Winnipeg police depart ment indicate the. Amount of violent crime committed in the City by juveniles remained about the same As that recorded in 1968. Juveniles arrested or warned in five classifications of violent offences totalled 80 for the first five months of 1969, compared with 79 for the same period last year. The records of youth involved in violent crime show assault 22 boys and seven girls in 1969 compared with 18 boys and six St of Dauphin. In 1968 Possession of been playing offensive weapons six boys and j boys monday two girls in 1969, compared with a Tow bucket six boys compared with seven boys and 1969 murder one boy in 1969, com pared to none in 1968. A Survey of Winnipeg attorneys and judges showed that almost All opposed lowering the juvenile age limit to 16 but that a uniform age limit of 17 for the country would be satisfactory As the Federal government has proposed. The age limit in some provinces including Manitoba is 18 in others it is 16. Attorney Gregory Brodsky to 16 for liquor and Highway traffic act offences. Chief magistrate Harold Gyles thought the variance in age cause of race or religion soon May have a permanent organization to which they can take their grievances. Alan Borovoy general counsel of the Canadian civil liberties association tuesday was in Winnipeg meeting with local people concerned with forming a chapter of the association in Manitoba. Pierre Berton. Writer and television personality and a i Board member of the National association speak at a is scheduled to meeting at limits from province to province tonight in the Marlborough hotel. De Schreyer new democratic party Leader will also speak briefly. From this meeting it is hoped that interested citizens will rather he favored a i uniform limit of 17. He did t believe there is any substantial increase in the rate of delinquency. Certainly the number of apprehensions is up but this does t necessarily mean an increase in juvenile magistrate Gyles said the did t think the percentage of increase in apprehensions could flon have search con violent crime is any greater among juveniles than it is among adults and even if it is he still Felt that juvenile authorities could control the situation More effectively than by having the youth prosecuted As Aduris. There Are 12 to 14 controls and nine different types of punishment available in juvenile legislation that Aren t available in adult court he explained. And besides there is Legisla Tive provision to Send a juvenile to adult court if the judge believes t h e crime serious enough. I would doubt that the rate of increase in violent crime among 16 and 17-year-Olds is any greater than the rate of increase among 18 and 19-year Here to help be partly attributable to the increase in population and improved police detection methods.
