New Zealand is renowned for being in the forefront of promoting youth justice policies, as is seen in the passage of the Children, Young Persons, and Their Families Act 1989, the first of its kind worldwide. However, the continued over-representation of youth from Maori and Pacific communities in crime statistics, as well as inconsistent processing of youth offenders through restorative practices, warrant a critical review of youth justice practices in New Zealand. This course will examine the impact of the amendments of the Children, Young Persons, and Their Families Act 1989 on current youth offending. Incorporating indigenous and other culturally-specific justice perspectives into existing youth justice practices will also be explored.
