Both adult and youth programs in Saskatchewan are delivered by community-based non-profit agencies, First Nations, Tribal Councils and fee-for-service mediators.
Extrajudicial sanctions programs have been operating in Canada since 1983 and in Saskatchewan since 1985. The development of alternative measures/extrajudicial sanctions was influenced by the:
- Restorative justice movement;
- Desire of Indigenous people for a justice system that is responsive to their unique needs; and
- Realization that communities can sometimes deliver a more effective form of justice than the criminal justice system.
