Bail system - Public safety should be top concern

Families of victims of violence are understandably disillusioned and angry with the large number of crimes being committed by people on bail after being charged with serious offences.

Of the 60 violent deaths in 2004, at least 15 or 25% were committed by people on bail. That is a horrifying statistic.

The Advocates for the Victims of Homicide contend that those killings could have been avoided.
