Keeping Communities Safe From Crime

Public Safety is best assured by laws anchored in research and based upon humane and equitable principles.

Mandatory Minimum Sentences

Sentences should be based on individual contextual factors relating to each offence, rather than legislated minimum sentences that result in ineffective, expensive, and unduly harsh periods of incarceration.

Pardons (Record Suspension)

All ex-offenders should have the right to apply for a pardon or suspension of a criminal record, after having served their full sentence and having spent a definite period of demonstrated crime-free life in the community.

Parole

The gradual supervised release of offenders who have demonstrated responsibility to change offers the greatest likelihood of successful re-entry and continued safety for the community.
