NZ: ""we are seeing far more armed police on our streets..that it's sort of ramping it up..&that will lead to, not only more arming by police, but even more arming by criminals. So we'll see more police shot and probably more public shot by police."" https://t.co/WtW0a3SNlW

A new #NZCVS report - Offences by Family Members - has found women and Māori are more vulnerable to experiencing offences by family members than other New Zealand adults. 87% of incidents against females involved one or more male offenders https://t.co/6Jz2DSs00B

The latest #NZCVS report - Offences by Family Members - has found separation from a partner is a key risk factor for intimate partner violence. Almost one in 10 single adults who had separated in the past year experienced an offence by a family member https://t.co/rEy6NI7Vu0

A @justicenzgovt report has revealed almost 80,000 NZers have been victims of family offending in the past year. Women were more than twice as likely to report offences by family members than male adults and 3x as likely by an intimate partner https://t.co/7V24h7C59k @NZStuff

Hapaitia final report 'Turuki! Turuki!' really sums up the problems with the current justice system. We'll be pushing for more radical action from the Government than what was announced today, because the scale of the solutions need to match the scale (and urgency) of the problem
