I've been doing this for 25 years, and yes, there are a lot of victims of repeat offenders, and they do get frustrated. They do start to feel that there's no point, because he's just going to get out again, that the conditions are going to be the same and that he's just going to breach another time. That's primarily when we're talking about intimate partner violence, gender-based violence situations. It is a concern because it's so important that they do report. There's the ladder of release: the more frequently the victims report, the more the offender moves up that ladder, which can be very important for holding accountability.
