Kim Workman, founder of Rethinking Crime and Punishment is running a series of online publications called Smart on Crime. The rationale behind the series comes from recognition that New Zealanders want to see strategies, practices and processes which reduce not only the number of crime victims, but also the extent of social harm and the negative downstream consequences for victims, offenders, their families and whānau, and the wider community. The first one has just been released, and looks at the changing attitudes of New Zealanders away from the ‘tough vs soft’ debate of former years toward an approach which is smart on crime.
