I feel that, 100%. I worked in justice for 15 years before I moved to women's shelters, and that's the biggest intersect I see, over and over. They're being released on conditions, or bail is being provided to people who shouldn't have bail. It's a big reason we see these femicides. How many individuals arrested for domestic violence have a criminal history? They could have stayed in custody because they breached the conditions of their release document, which they needed to follow.
I think we are failing women in that capacity. There is more and more in the news about women who are subject to violence through someone who has a criminal record: He is out on bail or was not properly reintegrated back into society.
