Something that concerns us in particular is that in one case, an individual who has committed murder in the past and was under the witness protection program committed another murder. I know it is difficult to try to prevent an offender from committing another crime or to determine whether or not he will commit one.
I also know that your program provides psychological services, that there can be psychological testing of sources when they join the program and that psychological support is provided to the witness, if he needs it, and to his family as well. But we cannot help but think, even though the act does not talk about this, that when the police assume responsibility for protecting a criminal who has killed in the past, even if it is in the public interest to provide this protection in order to convict other criminals even more dangerous than him, the police does not have the moral duty to ensure that the person will not reoffend and therefore it will not maintain a close enough relationship to the individual to try to prevent him from reoffending, even though this is difficult.
From the evidence we have heard, it seems that if any psychological support is offered, it is offered at the beginning of the process. However, once the individual seems to be reintegrated into a new type of life, he is left alone.
I would like to hear your comments on this, because I imagine this incident must have caused you as much concern as it causes us.
