Bail (Amendment) Bill 2017: Discussion
9:00 am
Ms Joan Deane:
In the first place any breach of bail has to be considered a serious offence, as I said earlier. That needs to be recorded and shared. There are instances where data are not shared between different regions. Somebody might commit an offence here and go to another county and reoffend. Authorities there are not aware of the breach of bail. Recording and sharing data will be vitally important.
