I'd like to comment on the serious repeat offenders. That is a problem, I think, for all the policing agencies. I think it's a problem for the courts as well, because we do have some youth or young adults, unfortunately, who do need an intervention, because they just will not stop the activity that they're in. Those are people who are past the remedial actions that I talked about earlier.
In relation to your question about having had other people here who said they did a lot of programming, yes, there is some programming that's happening within the communities, but a lot of it's run through community-based organizations such as the John Howard Society, the Elizabeth Fry Society, and some of those agencies, who spend, I would hazard a guess, 60% of their time trying to get their funding every year so they can keep going. I think any community-based organization that you talk to would tell you that's one of the pitfalls.
It's hard for the police to partner with a lot of agencies that don't know if they're going to have funding again the next year. It doesn't bring good credibility when you're trying to do mediation with some victims along that line.
So I think we need some real good, solid government programming that we know is going to be in place that we can count on every time and try to achieve some results here.
