You've raised some excellent points, because really people need to be informed at every stage of the process. We can never forget who's suffered the harm and the loss here. So of course they need to have information about when they're being released back into the community. I think it was referred to in one of our videos here where the victim has quite clearly said, here I am in an area where they've been released on a work release where I could have come across them, not knowing that.
It just makes sense that we have a system that's going to provide this information to victims and their families so that they are prepared for when the offenders come back to the community and they know what those conditions are. In many cases some offenders are released back into the same communities as victims, and some are very small communities. They may come across these people. You've raised some excellent points about the importance of them being informed.
