The Problem of Prisons: Corrections Reform in New Zealand Since 1840 by Greg Newbold

$49.95 NZD

Available Stock:
60

Category: History | Reading Level: Very Good

Ever since the penitentiary became a mainstream corrections device two centuries ago, there has been a continuous search for something that 'works' in terms of reforming criminal offenders. In its correctional evolution New Zealand has been primarily influenced by developments in England and the United States. It has also been creative in finding its own directions. This has resulted in many variations in government policies, each directed towards the objective of reducing crime. This book weighs the complex factors that have driven New Zealand's correctional philosophy and practice since 1840. For more than 160 years New Zealand has struggled to find a formula for dealing with criminals in a humane, workable and effective way. For the most part, the quest has failed. Deterrent, retributive, reformative, custodial and community programmes have all had their day and not one has proved to be significantly better than any other in the general treatment of criminality, and reoffending rates remain quite uniform. Greg Newbold's latest book examines this international problem and suggest why the reformation of criminals is so difficult. First published march 2007. ...Show more

The Politicisation of Ethics Review in New Zealand by Martin Tolich & Barry Smith

$42.99 NZD

Available Stock:
60

Category: Education

The National Women’s Hospital research scandal saw women being involved in medical research without their knowledge and without the opportunity to make a choice about their participation. The 1988 Cartwright Inquiry into this decades-long study established a template for ethics review in New Zealand. Et hics committees were subsequently established to independently evaluate the potential benefits as well as the risks of research. This book traces the gradual undermining of the independence of ethics review in New Zealand and the politicisation of ethics committees between 1988 and 2014. There have been substantial changes in this review process brought about by government in response to other medical crises such as that which occurred in Gisborne in the late 1990s and then an “economic crisis” between 2008 and 2010 that involved international pharmaceutical companies. This book explores the implications of these changes for a robust ethics review process across research environments in New Zealand, especially those affecting Maori. It includes recommendations aimed at enhancing independent ethics review, best practice, and providing adequate protection for all citizens. ...Show more
