ArticleSeries: Topic seriesPublication details: Wellington, New Zealand : Department of Corrections, 2015Description: electronic document (7 pages); PDF fileSubject(s): Online resources: Summary: "Around 500 offenders are sentenced to imprisonment each year for sex offences, which is only about 7 percent of total receptions. However, their sentences tend to be significantly longer than the average. Consequently, they spend longer periods in prison, and thus comprise a significant proportion of the prison population, a proportion which is slowly but steadily increasing.
For this reason, as well as the fact their crimes are very serious, and the risks to public safety of any subsequent re-offending, they are an important focus for rehabilitation as well as post-release management. (From the website). See also "Family violence offenders" #5002. Record #5003
