Actually, the evidence that I spoke to was raised by Mr. Fletcher. This is a result of a very large meta-analysis with thousands of subjects. You look at differences there, and these are quite marginal differences, really, between the effects of treatment in the community versus treatment in institutions. It's confounded by the fact that almost inevitably there would be lower-risk men in the community treatment programs than there would be in the institutional programs. So I don't make too much of that issue, to be perfectly honest with you.
I think what we need is treatment in the institutions and treatment in the communities, and that's particularly true for those men whose risk is at the higher end of the spectrum. We definitely can't just let them out after treatment and think that's going to have done the trick. Corrections Canada has always taken the view that those men have to be involved in continued treatment in the community, and so does the National Parole Board. They make it a condition of release. I think that's very sensible myself.
There are some men at the lower end of the spectrum, particularly the exhibitionists, for example, but probably some of the very-first-time sex offenders, and probably, certainly, the older ones who commit an offence for the very first time, and they could probably be dealt with effectively in the community. If they get a short sentence, the job that we'd be faced with is trying to prepare them to continue that treatment once they're back in the community. If they get a short sentence, there are probably no conditions on them that would require them to do that, and that would be a pity.
