Restorative Justice – Public lecture

By Anne / 14 April 2008

Over the past 5 years, New Zealand’s prison population has increased 36% to 7,734 inmates in 2007. The criminal justice system has taken an increasingly punitive stance, and imprisonment rates have risen from around 150 to 190 prisoners per 100,000 population. The cost of running the penal system has doubled in 5 years, and rates of reoffending have not seen any great change despite this increased spending…

Is there a a better way?

Anyone living around Auckland and interested in this area should head along to a public lecture hosted by the Restorative Justice Centre.

Professor Andrew Coyle and Viviene Stern, two very known Prison reform and Policy advisors from the UK will speak on:

“Understanding Prisons – Key Issues in Policy and Practice”

and

“Alternatives to Imprisonment”
