Dangerous

Abstract

I do not pretend to have an ultimate answer. I can only set out some of the facts, rules and issues relevant to Neve's designation as dangerous. I will consider the background of the case, the purpose of the dangerous offender provisions, the hearing and some legal and political issues that arise from the case. I hope to show that while there was evidence on which Neve could have been found to be a dangerous offender, there was also a basis for Murray J. to have exercised his discretion not to find Neve to be a dangerous offender.
