Making friends with a paedophile: 'We can't kill him, so we help him not to do it again'.
Circles of Support and Accountability started out as a Mennonite church project in a town in Ontario, Canada, in 1994. Realising that a low‑IQ sex offender called Charlie was about to be released into the community, church volunteers formed a group to support him. The method soon expanded across Canada, where studies demonstrated a 70 per cent reduction in reoffending rates.

more articulate than you will ridicule you, and we will leave
such ridicule in place.
