    In Canada, because of certain provisions in The Youth Act, criminal offenders under a certain age, 17 or 18, can not be publically identified. Are there any other countries that have similiar provisions in their criminal codes?

    		The UK does, but I can't cite a source other than there being countless cases where people like Joe Bloggs (19), Fred Smith (86) and a youth of 15 (who can't be identified for legal reasons) are the offenders. Very rarely, young offenders are identified - the Bulger case was one example. (Baloo remembers being shown the video tape by the police, but being unable to recognise the boys.)

    		This also applies in Australia. The reference below is to a proposed change to Northern Territory law, NT being the only jurisdiction (in Australia) at the time that allowed identification of young offenders and publication of their pictures.
