    Please do so.

    And quickly so you do not need to be embarrassed further by your pathetic attempts to spin like Cindy.

    But why try to tell us that it will REDUCE crime - it won't.
    Evidence-based policies they said - the evidence here and around the world is that it doesn't work (but it will this time they say).

    There is some merit that keeping them in prison longer means that they can't commit a crime - until they get out without any work having been done to change their behavior.

    If they just want to lock people up for longer then make that the policy - not this fantasy.

    Labour government 6-year experiment of significantly reducing the prison population proved that alternative sentences and letting the crims out of prison absolutely did INCREASE crime.

    So what will work, to reduce crime in NZ?

    Not for me to solve the issues (I don't have the research resources (or time)) but 3 strikes won't so maybe the Govt should spend their time working on something that will work.
    I believe the problem isn't simple - so the solution won't be either.

    Correct it isn't that simple.
    501s definitely had an impact on serious crime through gangs in NZ.
    Cost of living, some of that blame can be laid at Labour's feet also contributed.
    However need to see serious crime & even the not so serious I.e theft etc need to be held accountable.

    Implementation of the crack down on crime is key and 3 strikes rule requires nuance. Not just a blanket sentence.

    Just filling prisons isn't the answer, let alone the cost to tax payers.
    Hopefully you find my posts helpful, but in no way should they be construed as advice. Make your own decision.

    About time they got into some real policies and helped the average New Zealander (like cost of living - removal of fuel tax hasn't happened (Auckland only) and regos are about to go up (all of us)).
    Correct it's a failed policy from the past,a bit like boot camps
    This Cannibal Collective is treating NZ like an experiment, a ruthless business mentality,profit at all costs,complete uncaring for most kiwi's.
