The Journey to Justice

This 90-page guide takes the principles of helping children and teenagers testify in court and adapts them for use in Canada's three territories: Yukon, the Northwest Territories and Nunavut. Taking into account contextual features of northern justice -- including circuit-court parties travelling to far-flung and isolated communities -- the material is designed for judges, justices of the peace, prosecutors, police, witness coordinators, victim service workers, shelter staff and educators. Concrete ideas for victim support are offered. Sections also address the needs of witnesses with diagnosed or suspected fetal alcohol spectrum disorder (FASD).
