The board and the Correctional Service of Canada work with victims. They register with us to receive information about offenders. We have more than 8,000 registered victims.
Those victims can attend parole hearings and observe. They can also present statements at our parole hearings. We provide information about offenders' parole dates and the parole results. We provide copies of the parole decisions to victims.
Last year the board had more than 32,000 contacts with victims, and we had 244 presentations made by victims at our hearings.
