The Youth Drug and Alcohol Court of New South Wales is the generic name given to a harm minimization program administered through the Children's Court of New South Wales. It is not a court itself, but is a children's court that specialises in criminal offences in which a child over 14 but under 18 years of age has an addiction to illicit drugs or alcohol. The Court was the first Youth Court of its type to be established in Australia. ==History== The establishment of the Youth Drug and Alcohol Court program was one of the outcomes of the New South Wales Government’s Drug Summit in 1999. The summit was called to address increasing community concern about the role of illicit drugs in the community. One of the Summit’s recommendation was that the existing Adult Drug Court trial underway at Parramatta (see Drug Court of New South Wales be expanded to be available to young offenders. The initial trial was conducted at Campbelltown and commenced on 31 July 2000. The program was established as a pilot for two years and has since been continued. In July 2012, the Youth Drug and Alcohol Court of New South Wales was axed due to budget cuts. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Youth Drug and Alcohol Court of New South Wales」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
