Does the designation of a dangerous offender need to be changed to prevent reoffending?
Ontario, Canada
The following excerpt is from Little v. Bath (Warden), 2013 ONSC 7604 (CanLII):
The Applicant submits the current use of the designation of dangerous offender here is made to further punish the offender rather than to ensure proper supervision of the offender upon completing a sentence. He submits he is no longer a risk to reoffend. See, Gallichon v. Canada (Commissioner of Corrections), 101 C.C.C. (3d) at page 414.
