520 _aThe Crimes Amendment Act (No 3) 2011 received the royal asset on 19 September 2011 and will come into force on 19 March 2012. The Act makes two amendments of note. First, it strengthens the duties to protect contained in the Crimes Act 1961. Secondly, the Act creates two new offences of “ill-treatment or neglect of child or vulnerable adult” and “failure to protect child or vulnerable adult”. The Act represents the end of a process that began in 2008 when the National Government announced that addressing child abuse would be a priority in criminal justice reform. Hon Simon Power, the then Minister of Justice, invited the Law Commission to expedite its 2007 review of Part 8 of the Crimes Act 1961, with a particular focus on ensuring that children are protected adequately by the offences contained in Part 8 of the Crimes Act. The recommendations set out in the Law Commission’s report and several cabinet papers now form part of the Crimes Amendment Act 2011. From the Introduction.
