207 Sentencing principle—impact on victims
A sentence imposed on a child should—
(a) recognise the impact of the child's offending on any victim of that offending; and
(b) provide opportunities for the child to restore any harm caused by their offending; and
(c) take into account any steps the child has taken to restore such harm, to the extent that the child has the capacity to do so.
S. 208 amended by No. 54/2025 s. 13.
