Not at all, and again it's because he does not talk to victims. He does a lot of his work in the groups that work for offenders, so he's pro-offender. It's as simple as that. He's a very nice man, and so is Mr. Doob. All the criminologists and sociologists--all the “oligists”--are.
We're just not there yet. We speak in universities. Our time is coming, but we're not there yet, and it isn't a case of us versus them. I'm a member of the Citizen Advisory Committee for the Ottawa parole office, so I want to learn too.
I'm not a vengeful person, but there are just certain cases. Certain legislation is just not right in Canada, and it has to be looked at. We do represent a lot of victims across Canada. Maybe he should come to the victims of crime week and have a look at how many victims from across Canada come. That's in the third week of April every year. The justice department opens it.
There aren't any criminologists there who come and have a look at victims. They don't want any part of us.
