The Direct Accountability Program is an alternative to prosecution for individuals who have been charged with minor criminal offenses.
The program involves accused individuals being held accountable through community-based sanctions.
To be considered eligible for the program the accused must:
- be willing to accept responsibility for the actions that led to the charge
- be willing to make amends for their offence
- complete an agreement that outlines the terms of the sanction.
