Introduction

The Department has articulated a vision of creating lasting change by breaking the cycle of offending. In support of this vision, an aspirational and challenging goal has been set - to reduce re-offending by 25% by 2017. To achieve this goal the RR25% Strategy 2014-2017 (year one) focuses our time and efforts on the following priorities.

• A safer system

• Community support

• Working prisons

• Modern infrastructure

• Visible leadership. ,.:,~.~.~

The Department recognises that to achieve a reduction in re-offenq irig df 2 ?%by 2Q17, it must work effectively to engage with Mori communities so that Maori will q~ ~'t 1:..:~Tf?:efro·~f ~f'those efforts.

,: (.r . ~\~. ..': '-;"

The Department's efforts to reduce re-offending by l\Ilaofl.s,ince 1995- :h~~ led to the development of a number of interventions based on tikanga Maori;;lnd; deliv~re,d by l\i1aori service providers.
