An excerpt:
Can one hope that some Canadian communities will refuse to scapegoat, and develop safe ways of working with sex offenders in their midst? In fact, that is what has emerged in the past four years through Correctional Services Canada funded community agencies. “Circles of Support and Accountability Programs” have now worked with over forty sex offenders across Canada and are growing.
When will Canadian communities put an end to our own sanctioned societal violence? Shame on us all in Anytown, Canada. We have it in us to do better!
