DUE 20 October 2025
QUESTION 1 (10 Marks)
Please share your ideas on how we can improve bail provisions to better protect
our society from GBV. Please share up to five ideas, along with a short
explanation of why each one is important. (10 marks)
ANSWER:
Ideas on improving bail provisions to better protect society from GBV
Idea 1: Stricter bail conditions for GBV offenders.
Motivation: Courts should impose strict conditions such as electronic monitoring and
restraining orders to ensure the accused cannot contact or harm the victim. This
reduces the risk of repeated violence.
Idea 2: Denial of bail for repeat GBV offenders.
Motivation: Individuals previously convicted or accused of GBV should face tougher
bail restrictions. This discourages habitual offenders and protects victims from
reoffending threats.
Idea 3: Victim impact assessments before bail.
Motivation: Courts should consider emotional, physical, and safety concerns of victims
before granting bail. This ensures decisions prioritize victim protection and community
safety.
