MONTREAL — Risk assessments should be mandatory before Quebec's mental health review board decides whether a patient is released into society, a criminologist told a coroner's inquest on Tuesday.
Rioux, president of the provincial order of criminologists, presented a number of recommendations to the inquest, which is investigating the deaths of Breau and Brouillard Lessard, who was shot dead by police moments after he stabbed the two officers. Rioux, who has worked with the provincial parole board, said patients on parole are followed"100 times more" than a person under the authority of the mental health review board.
