I was listening intently to the entry point of how decisions are made through the court systems. Our organization can help in terms of what data is collected to determine risk. Provide that to Crowns so that they have a more broad view of somebody on a pathway to violence and understand the multiple pathways to violence that somebody is engaged in.
Again, it's understanding that, yes, a history of violence is an important indicator to determine dangerousness, for example, but at the same time, in our work post the Columbine and Taber, Alberta, school shootings, for example, we do understand that some people who are dangerous have no history of violence. Our information and our trainings are all about helping Crowns and judges make better-informed decisions and actually trauma-informed decisions, if need be.
The safety of the community has to be first, 100%.
