Abstract

This paper uses data for Ontario and Saskatchewan to test the hypothesis proposed by Carrington and Moyer (1994) that the reduction in police diversion of young offenders in Canada during the first 5 years of the Young Offenders Act--that is, the increase in the proportion of apprehended young offenders who were charged--was due to higher proportions charged among the 16 and 17 year-olds added to the jurisdiction of the youth justice system in the majority of provinces and territories. Analysis of age specific data on charging of young offenders in these two provinces in 1995 suggests that the addition of 16 and 17 year-olds accounts for about half of the observed increase in police charging of young offenders after 1984, and that the other half is due to increased charging of 12- to 15-year-olds.

17. MAGNETA LANE.

Abstract

This article presents information on the all female rock band Magneta Lane's debut album "The Constant Lover." The three young women in Magneta Lane bring an authentic confidence to the genre. Following in the steps of garage rock revivalists like The Strokes, Magneta Lane offers a sound largely influenced by popular rock from the 1970s. Valentine's strength as a vocalist has certainly helped the group find an audience. Her low, sometimes husky voice helps round out hook-laden tunes like "Medusa" and "The Constant Lover." Magneta Lane was quick to earn a deal with indie label Paper Bag Records, and critical success followed soon after.
