Tu Mai te Rangi ! Report on the Crown and Disproportionate Reoffending Rates Wai 2540
-
Tu Mai te Rangi! Report on the Crown and Disproportionate Reoffending Rates is the outcome of an urgent Waitangi Tribunal inquiry into a claim brought by retired senior probation officer Tom Hemopo concerning Crown actions and policies in reducing the high and disproportionate rate of Maori reoffending.
The report examines allegations that the Crown failed to make a long-term commitment to reducing the high rate of Maori reoffending relative to non-Maori and that, through the Department of Corrections, it acted inconsistently with Treaty principles by having no Maori-specific target, strategy, or budget to reduce Maori reoffending rates.
