MORE RE-OFFENDING BUT LESS HARM FROM MARAE-BASED JUSTICE SCHEME
A report, 'Iwi community justice panels reduce harm from re-offending', was published last month in the NZ Journal of Social Sciences.
It found 74 per cent of panel participants went on to commit another crime, compared to 60 per cent of a control group (matched by age, gender, ethnicity, prior history of offending and location). The participants also had significantly more post-panel offences.
The research says the result would be interpreted as a failure of the panels.
The study concludes iwi panels are therefore an effective alternative justice resolution process, because they reduce the harm caused by reoffending.
"You can't just look at how much they're offending but the type of offending they're undertaking. It's a big change.".......
