Shane Cuthbert is anti prisons and anti locking young kids up but he is also pro support for victims and pro reducing crime. Shane spoke about males as victims and how males are often treated differently, offered less support, but also spoke about discrimination against victims in general.
If you’re an elderly lady and someone has broken into your home but hasn’t physically assaulted you, what support do you get? Not much.
No mental health support, even though you may feel violated, scared and unable to sleep at night your crime, or the crime against you isn’t considered serious enough to offer you that support.
If you are a victim of crime you SHOULD have access to the same supports as everyone else and that’s also Shane Cuthbert told the legal affairs and safety committee the week prior.
