Do you feel that this type of program works? How can it be improved? We're seeing an increase in crimes related to controlling and coercive behaviour and in violent crimes between spouses. It's on the rise, not on the decline. I have the impression—perhaps wrongly—that we're not doing enough proactively, that we're not doing enough in terms of prevention.
We can certainly make changes to the Criminal Code and establish prison sentences. We can be strict with offenders, but is there anything we can do as a society to prevent individuals from developing behaviours like these?
