The day-to-day realities that I see and deal with on behalf of victims are that most offenders are released quickly and repeatedly, and it's for domestic violence and a wide range of violent offences. They're released starting right from when they're arrested by the police and released on undertakings, and they can have a criminal record for it, previous offences, and then they're held for bail court and oftentimes released on consent by the Crown on their own recognizance or undertaking, with conditions of no contact, not within 50 metres of a victim, and no weapons. That's where it starts. Then they're charged with, usually, a breach, or they can be charged with a breach and further offences and held and released, slowly climbing that ladder of release. They're not charged only once; it's repeatedly.
