THE Chief Inspector of the probation service (LET, May 10) insists that the re-offending rate by high or very high risk offenders is miniscule in percentage terms.

For Naomi Bryant, murdered by Anthony Rice out on licence the percentage was 100 per cent.

What galls is that plans for supervising Rice were sidetracked by concerns over his human rights.

I hope the human rights lobby can sleep at nights.
