Restorative Justice – Public lecture

By / 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”

About us

This site is run by the Social Justice Commission of the Anglican Church.

We seek to nurture justice spirituality and imagination, and engage in advocacy in all areas of life, overcoming poverty and transforming violence.

We encourage people to think and live “justly”, and emphasise debate and action on local, national and global issues.

Although we are Anglican, our vision isn’t so much about being Anglican. It’s about living justly. Justice is about how you live your life, and being just where we are. Working together, we can all flourish.
