According to a person familiar with the operation of the Correctional Services Department, the department will write psychological reports for persons who have committed sexual offences and assess the chances of the persons concerned to commit the crime again after release.
Those who have been sentenced to two years or more for sexual crimes, violence and other crimes, and those who have been sentenced to more than six years for other crimes, must have a report written by the Release Supervision Committee before they are released to determine whether the person concerned needs to behave after release.
