Yellow dog contract
A name given in American labor law to contract of employment by which the
employee agrees to forfeit their employment if they join a union during the
period of employment. These types of contracts are now prohibited by American
law.
Young offender
Young persons who, in many states, are treated differently than adult
criminals and are tried in special youth courts. In Canada, for example,
criminal suspects between 12 and 17 inclusively are processed under the Young
Offenders Act, which includes several provisions which reflect the
rehabilitative nature of the legislation.
