54392 (2024). Hon Dr Duncan Webb to the Associate Minister of Justice: Is it the intention of the new three strikes law to reduce offending; if so what advice if any has the minister received from officials that this will be the effect of the new law?

Hon Nicole McKee: I refer you to the Regulatory Impact Assessment prepared for the Bill that will reinstate the three strikes law, which is publicly available. www.justice.govt.nz/assets/Documents/Publications/RIS-Reinstating-three-strikes-sentencing-law-proactively-released.pdf
