The standard applied for discharges of youths is different from that applied to adults. Section 3 and 38 of the YCJA are to be applied.

{{reflist|2}}
===Conditional Discharge===
It is an error of law to apply the two part test for a discharge that is applied to adult offenders under s. 730 of the Code.<ref>
{{CanLIIRP|CSW|1j31j|2004 ABCA 352 (CanLII)|357 AR 232}}{{perABCA|Brooker JA}} (3:0) <br>
</ref>

Under the YCJA there is no mechanism under which a "conviction" is entered.<ref>
Bloomfield, ''Youth Criminal Justice Act'' Manual
</ref>

There is some suggestions that both best interests of the young person and the public interest are ''not'' statutory requirements for conditional discharges.<ref>

The primary difference between a youth discharge and youth probation is the effect that it has on the youth's record.<ref>
{{CanLIIRP|BWP|1nn6n|2006 SCC 27 (CanLII)|[2006] 1 SCR 941}}{{perSCC|Charron J}} (7:0)<br>

</ref>
A probation record will be accessible for longer than a discharge record under s. 119 of the YCJA.<ref>
{{ibid1|PJS}}{{atL|21rmr|15}}<br>
</ref>
The difference does not necessarily equate to being more lenient.<ref>
{{ibid1|PJS}}{{atL|21rmr|16}}<br>
</ref>

A youth discharge is different from an adult discharge. The main feature of an adult discharge being an absence of a criminal record is of less importance to a youth.<ref>
{{ibid1|PJS}}{{atL|21rmr|16}}<br>
</ref> 

The difference between youth discharge and youth probation is "minuscule" and is hardly any more "lenient". It is the duration that determines the "strictness/leniency of the sanction and not the vehicle" that is used.<ref>
{{CanLIIRP|RP|1htpc|2004 ONCJ 190 (CanLII)|190 CCC (3d) 244}}{{perONCJ|Duncan J}}
</ref>

A probationary term is more suitable where the judge wishes that the youth be required to "keep the peace and be of good behaviour" or where future reporting is required.<ref>
{{CanLIIRP|MSS|1vnfg|2008 SKPC 5 (CanLII)|312 Sask R 203}}{{perSKPC|Whelan J}}<br>
cf. {{CanLIIRx|PJM|25032|2009 ABPC 207 (CanLII)}}{{perABPC|Fradsham J}}<br>
</ref>

All offenders receive a youth record whether it is a discharge or a probation order.<ref>
{{CanLIIRP|P(R)|1htpc|2004 ONCJ 190 (CanLII)|190 CCC (3d) 244}}{{perONCJ|Duncan J}}<br>
</ref>

Under the test for a discharge, the test will "almost always be met."<ref>
{{ibid1|P(R)}}
</ref>
This is largely due to the fact that there is little public interest in the "record access period."<ref>
{{ibid1|P(R)}}
</ref>

Leniency of the sentence is determined by the length of the terms and conditions, rather than the difference between probation and discharges.<ref>
{{ibid1|P(R)}}
</ref>

; Effect on Youth Employment
A youth conditional discharge does not protect a young person's career aspirations any more effectively than a probation order.<ref>
{{supra1|PJS}}
</ref>

; Terms
There are no mandatory conditions to a conditional discharge unlike a probation order.<ref>
