THUNDER BAY — A group that advocates for abused women in Thunder Bay is expressing concerns about the safety of women and children in criminal cases involving gender-based violence.
In response to a query from TBnewswatch, the Ministry of the Attorney General has issued a statement saying "Intimate partner violence is a serious issue" and that it continues to work with local stakeholders to improve the justice system's response to intimate partner violence. "We're there to problem-solve and to maintain links [among] our criminal justice system players and everyone else around the table," Zweep said in an interview.
"I would say that 85 per cent to 95 per cent of accused people are now being released [at the bail stage]. I believe police officers are doing their job. They're intervening, they're charging the perpetrators, and those perpetrators are being released." The Crown Attorney himself, it said, will attend the committee's next meeting and will be available to discuss "any ongoing concerns" with the Thunder Bay and District Coordinating Committee to End Women Abuse at that time.
"At all stages of the prosecution, including bail hearings, the safety of victims and their families is a paramount factor," it said.
