Kia ora Marc

 

Thank you for your email to the Ministry of Justice.  The information you
are seeking is not held by the Ministry of Justice we are therefore
refusing your request under section 18(e) of the OIA as the information
does not exist.

 

We approached NZ Police with a request to transfer under Section 14 of the
OIA however they have declined to accept this transfer.

 

You may find some information that can be of assistance to your query on
the Police website here:
[1]https://www.police.govt.nz/about-us/publ...
noting that NZ Police do not link Victim or Offender demographics.

 

You may also find of interest the recently released full data under the
NZCVS (New Zealand Crime and Victims Survey) which can be found on our
website here:
[2]https://www.justice.govt.nz/justice-sect...
the data relates to the period October 2018 to September 2019, a section
relating to Maori Victimisation is item 4 on the page.

If you are not satisfied with my response, you have the right to complain
to the Ombudsman under section 28(3) of the Act. The Ombudsman may be
contacted by email at: [email address].

 

Ngā mihi

Subject: Official Information request - Ethnicity of offenders that commit
offences against Maori

 

Dear Ministry of Justice,

 

I am aware that the Ministry of Justice recently released statistics on
crime against Maori:

 

[4]https://www.stuff.co.nz/national/politic...

 

Could I please make an OIA request for the following information:

 

1) The number of criminal offences committed against Maori in the 2020
calendar year (if 2020 is not available: 2019, please), broken down by the
ethnicity of the offender (New Zealand European, Maori, Pacific, Asian,
other).

 

2) Alternatively, if 1) is not available: The number of Maori victims of
criminal offences in the 2020 calendar year (if 2020 is not available:
2019, please), broken down by the ethnicity of the offender (New Zealand
European, Maori, Pacific, Asian, other).

 

If the information under 1) and/or 2) is publicly available, could I
please be provided with a weblink.

 

Kind regards
