Okay. I suppose my question is whether people are then under surveillance for a period into the future. Obviously they are entitled to their benefits if they are entitled to welfare. Do leopards charge their spots? Of course, a person is entitled to redeem himself or herself but we need to ensure that we do not have repeat offenders. I am trying to find out if there is a process in regard to repeat offenders.
