I thank the witnesses for attending, as well as those who have made written submissions to the committee. I will kick off with questions to Dr. Connolly. He spoke about how the nature and level of violence have changed in recent years compared with the 1980s. He also spoke about the impact of drugs and violent crime on communities. He said that in his study of 800 people, the big issue that jumped out at him was the fear of reprisal. Could he expand on that?
