Findings from the most recent New Zealand Crime and Victims Survey (NZCVS) as well as a statistical exploration of pathways into the Youth Justice system.

Dr Tadhg Daly and Kate Preston (Ministry of Justice) will present on findings from the New Zealand Crime and Victims Survey (NZCVS), focusing on results most relevant to families and young people.

Dr Tadhg Daly is acting Principal advisor at the Ministry of Justice. He has been working on the NZCVS for the last 3 years and has used the survey data to write in-depth reports on Māori victimisation and highly victimised individuals. He has a PhD in criminal psychology from Victoria University of Wellington.

Kate Preston is a senior advisor at the Ministry of Justice, working with the NZCVS. She has focussed primarily on family and sexual violence and public trust and confidence in the criminal justice system.

Sarah Richardson (Oranga Tamariki) is an analyst within the Evidence Centre and has a background in working with youth justice statistics.

Her presentation explores the pathways young people take to the youth justice system; provides information around what their wellbeing indicators and outcomes look like before, during and after youth justice involvement; and discusses how they compare with people who had no youth justice involvement.
