b'The topic for the twentieth television show produced by the Court Services and Offender Supervision Agency is \\u201cSupervision of High Risk Offenders\\u201d.\\nThere is extensive research that parole and probation agencies should focus their efforts on offenders who pose an obvious risk to public safety.
