It seems to be a combination of both. One thing I hear a lot of frustration about from both law enforcement and community members is repeated offences. There's a “slap on the wrist” response, and then in no time at all they are back out doing the exact same things. Often they are known either to community members or to law enforcement.
I didn't want to add that part into the motion, but I suspect that through the course of your assessment, you will hear some concerns around wanting tougher sentencing and stopping that revolving door.
