Sexual violence reform

The Centre is exploring innovative justice responses to sexual offending.

We hosted a standing-room-only panel discussion ‘Innovative justice responses to sexual offending’—made up of experts from a range of disciplines. It explored alternatives to using jury trials in dealing with sexual violence offences.

A group of smiling academics seated at a table — Reader in Law Māmari Stephens (facilitator), independent researcher Dr Kay Stuart, Chair in Restorative Justice for Te Ngapara Centre for Restorative Practice Dr Jane Bolitho, Lecturer Dr Danica McGovern, author and researcher Dr Claire Baylis, and Academic Director of the Te Herenga Waka Centre for Justice Innovation Professor Yvette Tinsley (panel Chair).
