We're talking about crime reduction. One thing that is successful is the prolific offender management program, in which we have social service agencies, mental health staff, corrections staff, and police all working together on a caseload of about 20 or so people who are the most prolific offenders, whom we see the most. They provide wraparound services and structured case management, and those people tend to not be involved in as many criminal acts.
The one thing that does happen, though, is that there's an increase in breach charges. Administration of justice charges are increased over the short term, but over the long term they begin to decrease as the people are monitored for longer on the program. I think the prolific offender management program is a good model.
The community wellness court model is another one. It is also an integrated case management model, for people with substance abuse or mental health issues, who enter a different court stream. It's a case-managed court stream. We operate it out of a community wellness centre in the community. It's also an integrated approach. We work a lot with people with FASD and others.
These are things that aren't high cost to operate; they mostly use existing resources that are just rechannelled into more intensive case management and wraparound services, because we're managing the clients by risk.
