R. c. Fortin, 2011 QCCQ 7005 (CanLII)
[55] L'auteur Clayton Ruby écrit au paragraphe 5.139 et suivant de la sixième édition de son livre intitulé Sentencing, ce qui suit :
Youth is generally conceded to be a mitigating factor, probably because it discloses the greatest possibilities for reform and because we do not expect to much from youthful judgement.
Young people often do not have sufficient maturity to be deterred by exemplary sentences.
Occasionally, a crime reflects nothing more than a lack of maturity or a lack of parental supervision or guidance.
Thus, the general rule for most common offences is that a sentence should not be imposed on a youthful offender for the purpose of general deterrence, but should rather be directed at rehabilitation.
The transition from statutorily defined young person to adult should not be marked by an immediate abandonment of rehabilitation as a primary goal in cases where the prospect of successful rehabilitation is real.
