First of all, a person has to have a minimum level of education to be able to recognize pre-incident indicators. People have to be experienced, like Mr. Lafrenière, who has years of experience and extensive knowledge about offenders.
In complex cases like this, where individuals have been convicted of murder, the group of decision-makers should always include either a psychologist or a psychiatrist.
