    "content": "(b) inserting the following new amendments to section 4 — s.4(1) Delete the word “youth” and substitute therefor the word “age” s.4(1) Delete the word “youth” and substitute therefor the word “age” The rationale of this amendment is that the term “social inquiry” in the proposed section 7 should be accordingly rectified to read “pre-sentence.” As it is presently in Section 4 of the Probation of Offenders Act, it provides for the court’s power to permit conditional release of the offender upon taking consideration of various factors such as youth, character, home surroundings, health and mental condition. Just like in the first amendment, these are terms that can easily be confused if not realigned with Section 7 of the Act. So, it is just to make it easier for the courts to refer to those terms."
