As a part of the launch of the book Criminal Justice a New Zealand Introduction, there was the most impressive panel of people I've seen assembled in one room. Each talked about the biggest issue facing criminal justice as they saw it. the speakers were:
  • Department of Corrections Chief Executive Ray Smith Children’s Commissioner Judge Andrew Becroft
  • Secretary & CEO of the Ministry of Justice Andrew Bridgman
  • Multi-award-winning crime author and journo Steve Braunias
  • UC Dean of Law Professor Ursula Cheer
  • New Zealand Police Deputy Commissioner Viv Rickard
If you're interested in it, you can get the book from the library or buy it here.

Morons, pub quiz questions, a prison crisis and Peter Ellis.

Since I started writing for the Herald, I don't blog much at all. So here's a few of my favourite pieces of late. 
  • I wrote this one for all the morons out there.
  • This one is on Bill English becoming a pub quiz question (and why that's a shame)
  • Here I argue that building a laser to shoot holes in the moon is cooler that building a new prison.
  • The grave concerns around the safety of Peter Ellis's conviction is the topic here.
