May I pursue the point about domestic violence? It often happens that the person who ends up being evicted was the victim of someone else’s crime. I know of cases when the whole community gangs up on the victim rather than the offender and the person is misidentified as an offender when they were not. If we were to pilot such a project, there would have to be a proper understanding of how those offences are pursued.
