First of all, I think technology is part of the answer. I think that's the future. We need to find ways to use technology to better assist not only the police but also communities, in terms of keeping them safer.
In terms of which provinces are doing things differently, I think Alberta is probably the leader in rethinking the approach. They're attaching therapeutic capacity to all of their corrections facilities, so that when they get someone into that facility and they're incarcerated for whatever reason, if there's an underlying drug addiction or mental health issue, they're actually being moved into the therapeutic wing of the corrections facility, where they can get support, treatment and even, potentially, training opportunities or whatever. That's how we disrupt the cycle of this constant offending. If all you do is arrest people, incarcerate them and do nothing, you're just kicking the problem down the road. You're going to release the person, they're going to come back and they're likely going to reoffend.
