Petition Text
Petition to the House of Commons in Parliament assembled
Whereas:
• In cases involving high-risk federal offenders convicted of intimate partner violence, current release conditions alone may be insufficient to prevent further contact, intimidation, stalking, coercive control, escalation, or other harm;
• Active GPS electronic monitoring, including geofencing and exclusion-zone enforcement where appropriate, can provide a more effective means of supervising compliance with release conditions and enhancing victim safety;
• The cost of active GPS electronic monitoring is modest when compared with the substantial economic and social costs associated with reoffending, enforcement, emergency response, incarceration, and renewed victimization;
• A presumption in favour of active GPS electronic monitoring in appropriate high-risk cases would promote consistency, transparency, and public safety, while preserving individualized assessment and permitting documented exceptions where monitoring is not necessary or proportionate; and
• Victims and protected persons should receive timely notice, meaningful consultation, and practical safety-planning support, including information respecting exclusion zones and breach-response protocols.
We, the undersigned, citizens and residents of Canada, call upon the House of Commons in Parliament assembled to amend the Corrections and Conditional Release Act, S.C. 1992, c. 20, to require active GPS electronic monitoring, including geofencing where appropriate, for federal offenders convicted of intimate partner violence who are assessed as posing a serious risk upon community release to create a presumption in favour of such monitoring in high-risk cases, subject to individualized risk assessment and written reasons for any exception, and to ensure timely notification, victim-centred safety planning, and related protective measures for affected victims and protected persons.
