Sobering data from the Femicide Census showed at least 21 men left free to kill women after being released on bail between 2020 and 2022, some having been bailed on suspicion of offences against women before committing the murders.
Dr. Karen Ingala Smith expressed concerns over the effectiveness of processes like bail, licensing, and Domestic Violence Prevention Orders, indicating that court orders may not deter highly abusive and dangerous men from committing violent acts.
The case of Jordan McSweeney, who killed Zara Aleena just nine days after being released from prison for violent offenses, highlights the failures of the system.
