You also place this burden on the victims families to relive this every few years in public testimony.

I can see some value in this. The gravity of the damage should be something taken into account when assessing risk of re-offending. For example, if someone with no control is yelling at people, that's not as bad as aggravated assault/homicide, and the risk/benefits of releasing them into society need to be weighed.
