Abstract:
Why parole is essential to community safety.
The rape and murder of Jill Meagher in the Melbourne suburb of Brunswick in September 2012 was as horrible a crime as could be imagined. Meagher, twenty-nine, was walking on a street near her home when she caught the attention of an opportunist sexual predator, Adrian Bayley, a man with a long history of violent sexual offences. She was dragged into an alley, brutally raped and then strangled to death. Bayley, forty-one, has since been sentenced to life imprisonment for murder, plus fifteen years for rape.
