Time to strengthen the survivors/victims hand in the legal game by information accessible through many avenues and provided by Sheriffs' Departments, lawyers, social workers, nurses, law professors, librarians, physicians, psychiatrists, publishers, CEOs, etc. For a start, information like that on the Washoe County Sheriff's web-site should be available on every community's web-sites and modified of course to meet that community's needs. Canadian communities would be different as well as another countries' criminal, mental health support system, languages, etc. would come into play.
Washoe County Sheriff's Office - Northern Nevada's Full Service Law Enforcement Agency Other Sheriffs' Offices around the country might have even more useful links for survivors/victims of crimes.
Lawyers could provide even more useful information if they would give away some of the tricks of their trade. I have actually seen some of my classmates from the U of MN Law School Class of 1989 providing some of this kind of information in their respective communities and fields of legal expertise.
I remember when Priscilla Ford did something similar to this Canadian man. This was in Reno, Nevada on a Thanksgiving Day in 1980.

Priscilla Joyce Ford (February 10, 1929[1] – January 29, 2005[2]) was a mass murderer who was sentenced to death after driving her 1974 blue Lincoln Continental down a sidewalk in downtown Reno, Nevada on Thanksgiving Day in 1980.[3] The attack killed six people and injured 23 more. Ford had been diagnosed as having paranoid schizophrenia with violent tendencies, she had been treated and released by seven different hospitals before moving to Reno in 1980.[4] Ford launched numerous appeals against her death sentence, all of which failed. A heavy smoker, she died at the age of 75 after suffering from emphysema.
