Another outstanding home D decision. I bet thise girls he raped feel so listened to and valued.
Never said it hasn't been an issue for some time. And both major parties are as guilty of each other for allowing violent criminals to be granted home D.

How does a gang member involved in a shootout in a public place and party to murder get bail at all? How does a gang member who committed a violent sexual assault on someone and who continued to threaten the victim get home D?
it does look like it has been an ongoing issue for some time though...
Found this PDF here - attached - its an older review but enlightening nonetheless.

home detention use seemed to ramp up in 2008 from 400 odd to 1600 or so in 2011 - page 10
but interestingly it would seem that those classified violent offenders have always been able to get HD, making up roughly 20% - page 12 - maybe they had 'good' representation at the parole hearings...
and the Offences while on Home Detention climbed dramatically in 2008 as well, from 1.7% to 20%+ - page 18...
something must have changed policy-wise in 2008 that seems to have triggered all these home detention problems...
