Revisiting New Zealand’s “gift to the world”: Demythologising youth justice family group conferencing in Aotearoa New Zealand
In 1989, New Zealand implemented Family Group Conferences (FGCs) as part of the Children, Young Persons, and their Families Act. Since then, New Zealand’s youth justice system, and the FGC in particular, has regularly been portrayed and referenced as an exemplar of youth restorative justice legislation, policy, and practice. In this article we examine six predominant myths about youth restorative justice and the FGC in New Zealand regularly set f…
Decolonising Criminology? We’re Not Interested: Indigenous Refusal and the Limits of the Discipline
Over recent years, long-standing tensions between criminology and Indigenous scholars in Australasia have intensified. These tensions arise from several sources: the continued support some non-Indigenous criminologists give to the settler-colonial state and its criminalisation of Indigenous peoples; conflicting views about how research methods, ethics, and theory should engage with Indigenous knowledge; and the racism, silencing, and marginalisat…
Rewriting a violent settler-colonial history: Why anti-Māori racism must be distinguished from other forms of racism in Aotearoa New Zealand
Critical Indigenous Criminology in Practice and Praxis
Criminologists and policy makers often acknowledge the over-representation of Indigenous peoples in criminal legal systems as one of the significant issues facing the discipline and the policy sector. However, legislation, policies and interventions targeting this issue are too often based on theoretical and analytical frameworks that reify the individual as the focus of intercession, pathologise Indigenous peoples, and/or criminalise Indigenous …
New Zealand’s Coalition Government Gang Policy and the Death of Evidence
A particular focus of the NZ government in relation to crime control is its stated aim to ‘smash the gangs’, signalled through a range of policies, including banning gang patches and providing police with enhanced dispersal powers. So far, one significant feature of the government's platform is its inability to provide evidence that demonstrates the efficacy of the criminal justice policies and interventions it plans to implement, such as boot ca…
Racialized Surveillance in New Zealand: From the Tūhoe Raids to the Extralegal Photographing of Indigenous Youth
It has been nearly 15 years since the 2007 anti-terrorism police raids targeting the Ngāi Tūhoe (Tuhoe) iwi (tribe) who reside in the center of New Zealand's North Island. The violent treatment inflicted upon Tūhoe by New Zealand Police and the Security Intelligence Service (SIS) raised questions around the policing and punishing of Indigenous expressions of dissent. In light of recent events, revisiting how policymakers addressed the Raids offer…

“Young Brown Men Being Brutish”: How Police Ten 7 Portrays Māori and Pacifica People as Violent and Criminal in Aotearoa New Zealand
In 2021, the New Zealand reality-TV show Police Ten 7 was publicly criticized for feeding racial stereotypes by showing “young brown men being brutish”. While several overseas studies verify that reality-TV crime shows tend to portray non-white minorities as intrinsically criminal, such research is scarce in New Zealand. Our study sought to determine whether Police Ten 7 represents Māori and Pasifika (i.e., “brown”) people fairly in light of offi…
Donna Awatere’s Māori Sovereignty: Reflections on White Supremacy and the Racialization of Crime Control and Surveillance in Aotearoa New Zealand
Donna Awatere’s examination of whiteness within the Aotearoa New Zealand context, specifically white cultural imperialism, has largely been ignored in academic scholarship. For her, white culture, and its articulation through governance and policy, is the starting point and lens to understanding and addressing historical and contemporary Māori dispossession and ensuing strategies of racialized surveillance, control, and containment. In this essay…

Māori views of forensic DNA evidence: An instrument of justice or criminalizing technology
© 2020 Informa UK Limited, trading as Taylor & Francis Group. DNA profiling is just one of many tools available to police in a criminal investigation. However, unlike any other criminal investigative tool, DNA profiling has captured the public imagination. Its portrayal in popular fiction has given rise to the “CSI effect”, whereby the weight and credibility of science, combined with the predictive potential of DNA, produce an aura of infallibili…
Introduction: ‘Fuck the Law’: Decolonizing Nomophilitis with the Discourse of Love
This special issue of the Journal of Global Indigeneity builds upon the interdisciplinary, international dialogues arising from the travels and provocations of Professor Onwubiko (Biko) Agozino to Australia and Aotearoa, New Zealand in June 2018. We say provocations deliberately- the expression ‘fuck the law’ was flashed up on screens by Agozino in Australia asking why such critical views of the law had been neglected by criminologists when milli…
Strawmen and the Decolonisation of the Academy
In this article Dr Juan Tauri responds to a claim made by a audience member that the new journal, Decolonisation of Criminology and Justice, launched at AUT University, Auckland in June 2018, was part of the ‘white space’ we are supposed to be critiquing. The argument was that because it is part of a ‘white space’ that those affected by a rapacious academic criminology and criminal justice system, are unlikely to access it, or for their voices to…

Resisting Condescending Research Ethics in Aotearoa New Zealand
Recently, Indigenous scholars have raised a number of concerns with the activities of Research Ethics Boards (REBs) and their members, including the preference of REBs for Eurocentric conceptualizations of what does or does not constitute “ethical research conduct”, and the privilege accorded liberal notions of the “autonomous individual participant”. Informed by the author's reflections on the REB process, those of Indigenous Canadian and New Ze…

A Critical Appraisal of Responses to Māori Offending
This article critically analyses the role that criminological theory and specific policy formulations of culture play in New Zealand's state response to Māori crime. We begin by charting policy responses to the "Māori problem" during the 1980s to the 2000s, with a particular focus on policies and interventions based on theorising that Māori offending is attributable to loss of cultural identity, through to the current preference for risk factor a…
