| FAIRSCAPE COMMENT This would not happen in Fairscape. Those 48 dangerous people would be known to be dangerous, therefore they would have not earned their freedom. They would have to give assurances beyond reasonable doubt to five agencies that they would commit no further crime. Click here for the Fairscape website. |
Forty eight dangerous offenders being supervised by police and the probation service last year were charged with murder, rape or another serious offence, according to figures published today.
Almost a further 1,500 dangerous criminals being monitored in the community were sent back to prison for breaking the terms of their release from jail or breaching an order which bars sex offenders from a range of activities.
The figures also show that the number of people on the sex offender register rose by just under 1,000 to reach 32,000 last year.
But a row broke out after it emerged that the Ministry of Justice had changed the way the figures are compiled and published, making it impossible to compare the total number of violent and dangerous offenders supervised in 2008-9 with numbers for previous years.
