This book examines the lethal risks faced by police and traffic officers in Aotearoa New Zealand. It tracks lethal risk volume and type across 134 years of the New Zealand Police/Ngā Pirihimana o Aotearoa’s 137-year existence. Using data gathered from public records, official government reporting, and comparative studies, it reveals the current situation with regards to lethal risks from 1886 to 2019. The book identifies and presents two lethal risk hierarchies, the first for the period 1886-1999 and the second for the period 2000-2019. The hierarchies establish that the lethal risks faced come from: • Firearms • Assaults • And, potentially, Cutting/Stabbing attacks It determines that the nature of lethal risk has not changed, but rather the volume has reduced, meaning today’s officers are less likely to be harmed by lethal risk encounters than their predecessors were. This volume is an ideal starting point for researchers and practitioners interested in developing further scholarly research on lethal force and lethal risks faced by law enforcement officers and the organization they belong to.

The purpose of this book is to explain why a number of countries have succeeded in combating corruption; and to identify the lessons which other countries can learn from these five countries' successful experiences in curbing corruption.

Tu Mai te Rangi! Report on the Crown and Disproportionate Reoffending Rates is the outcome of an urgent Waitangi Tribunal inquiry into a claim brought by retired senior probation officer, Tom Hemopo, concerning Crown actions and policies in reducing the high and disproportionate rate of Maori reoffending. The report examines allegations that the Crown failed to make a long-term commitment to reducing the high rate of Maori reoffending relative to non-Maori and that, through the Department of Corrections, it acted inconsistently with Treaty principles by having no Maori-specific target, strategy, or budget to reduce Maori reoffending rates.
