In theory, we’re driven by… • warrior genes, irreligiousness, cowboy culture, poverty, acculturation stress, culture conflicts, social disorganisation, neo-colonialism, risk rhetoric, decolonisation (but not opportunism, or, the activities of the policy industry – Tauri, 2005) - General (deductive) theory prevails - Discontinuous record - None of it adequately explains Maori offence profiles
Key Sources • 6 monthly Maori apprehensions dataset (SNZ) • some analysis of NZCASS Maori findings (MoJ) available later in 2009 • unpublished findings of TPK (assisted by MoJ, MWA, and Corrections) engagement with Maori providers, practitioners & offenders (2007) • Moana Jackson’s colloquium (2008) • longitudinal studies (ongoing) • infrequent publications from Maori criminologists (Tauri, Webb, and me of course)
