Summary: "This report provides a unique glimpse of young women's experiences of criminalization, presented in their own words. Four girls (aged 15-19) with first-hand experiences of being arrested, appearing in court, and spending time in prison share their stories through conversations with the author ... outlining the many injustices experienced by girls whose actions are criminalized by the state. The report also offers an overview of the history of girls' imprisonment in Canada."--Abstract.
