Irvin Waller, Professor of Criminology at the University of Ottawa and till recently Director General of the International Centre for Prevention of Crime, was asked to comment on the new Ontario directions and on the interview with Rui Brum. This investment also helps more of these youngsters to become contributing citizens and good parents. Waller was appalled by plans to eliminate recreation centres in jails and to eliminate half-way house programs. I predict that we will experience a substantial increase in the cost of corrections. Building more jails and putting more people in for longer periods will mean less safety in our homes, in our schools, and on the streets.
Money spent on prevention is much more cost effective.
