  • Continued Tenancy in Public Housing and Youth Justice Outcomes

    Open AccessChang Yü, Sarah Bierre et al.ARTICLESocial Policy and Administration2026

    In New Zealand, public housing can offer households a permanent home and a rental‐based approximation of owner‐occupation. Using a social determinants framework, this paper examines youth justice outcomes among individuals aged 14–24 years who were continuously housed in public housing between 2013 and 2022, including those who resided in different public housing units over time. We find that reported police offences, court charges and instances …

  • The Importance of Housing Assistance on Reducing Youth Offending in New Zealand

    Open AccessChang Yü, Mary Buchanan et al.ARTICLEUrban Policy and Research2025

    This paper examines the relationship between housing assistance and youth offending in New Zealand (NZ). Using the Integrated Data Infrastructure (IDI), we established three cohorts of youth aged 14–24 who were part of households that received the Emergency Housing Special Needs Grant (EHSNG), lived in public housing, or received the Accommodation Supplement (AS) between 2016 and 2022. We found that offending decreased significantly among young p…

  • The undercounting of Indigenous Māori imprisoned by the New Zealand carceral state

    Open AccessPaula Toko King, Frederieke Sanne Petrović-Van Der Deen et al.ARTICLEHealth & Justice2025

    BACKGROUND: Indigenous Māori are imprisoned on a mass scale by the nation-state currently known as New Zealand, driven by racialised inequities that occur across the criminal legal system and a rapidly expanding carceral state. Lack of reliable data limits the ability to monitor and evaluate the health and disability impacts of imprisonment on Māori. We examined ethnicity data quality; specifically, potential miscounting of Māori in prison. All i…

  • What About the Kids? Identifying Children in the Housing Support System in Aotearoa, New Zealand

    Open AccessTīria Pehi, Brodie Fraser et al.ARTICLEChildren & Society2025Cited by: 1References: 45

    In Aotearoa New Zealand (henceforth referred to as Aotearoa) a range of housing supports are aimed at improving homeownership rates and making both private rental and public housing more available. Despite these “supports”, a large number of children, adolescents and young people are experiencing housing insecurity or severe housing deprivation. Housing intersects with health, education, state care and welfare to influence a range of outcomes for…

  • Health in justice or health injustice? Indigenous Māori experiences of primary care following release from New Zealand prisons

    Open AccessPaula Toko King, Frederieke Sanne Petrović-Van Der Deen et al.ARTICLESocial Science & Medicine2025References: 38

    Whilst our findings indicate that Māori released from prisons access primary care, there are financial barriers to access. We also found (across a range of access and quality measures) that primary care services are not meeting their high health needs, demonstrating governmental breach of Indigenous rights to health. High-quality primary care is critical to successful community re-entry and to preventing adverse outcomes. There is an urgent requi…

    Qualitative research interviews are invaluable in understanding participants' experiences within public health systems and driving systemic change. These interviews can be sensitive in nature, particularly when exploring how certain groups are failed by systems. Considering this, it is crucial to conduct interviews in a way that prioritises the psychological safety of both participants and interviewers. While there is extensive literature theoret…

  • A Whakawhanaungatanga Māori wellbeing model for housing and urban environments

    Significant effort is underway to address the housing crisis in Aotearoa New Zealand (Aotearoa), including rapid investment in public and community housing. As Māori (the Indigenous people of Aotearoa) face many systemic barriers and impediments to home ownership, delivery and development of housing options and make up a significant proportion of public housing tenants, developing and managing housing and associated neighbourhoods that enable and…
