Why can CSC or NPB declare someone a Dangerous or Long-Term Offender at the end of their sentence if they still pose a threat?
A Dangerous Offender (DO) or Long-Term Offender (LTO) designation must be applied for by the prosecution at the time of sentencing. CSC and NPB do not have the legal jurisdiction to make this determination. Only the courts can do so, at time of sentencing. It is the mandate of CSC to carry out the sentence of the court.
