"The BC NDP will double the successful repeat offending programs. In two years since implementation, the Repeat Violent Offending Intervention Initiative has shown success:

1. reduced police interactions with participants by 50%;
2. reduced violent offences committed by participants by 56%; and
3. increased charge approvals from Crown counsel.

Expanded to property-crime offenders this summer, the repeat-offending programs can monitor as many as 870 people. By doubling capacity for these offending hubs, the BC NDP will help reduce street disorder, vandalism, and shoplifting in communities across the province."
