Corrections Minister
Matt Robson will host a community safety forum in
Christchurch this Thursday.
Local representatives have
been invited to take part in a debate focused around the
About Time report. The report was released by Matt Robson in
May.
“Many of our youngest children are in desperate need
of assistance to prevent a number of them ending up in
prison as adults. The public is rightly concerned about
this, and calling for action.
“This call for early
intervention was echoed in a major report I released
recently called 'About Time'.
“It reveals that early
intervention not only works best, it costs less.
“If we
want to stop building more prisons, and make our communities
safer, we have to make the social investment necessary to
tackle the causes of crime.
