Subject: Official Information request - Sentencing and Parole Reform Act

 

Dear Ministry of Justice,

 

I'm requesting the following information under the Official Information
Act.

 

A: How many convictions on average did an offender have upon receiving
their first strike warning under the Sentencing and Parole Reform Act?

 

B: What information is available in regard to all offenders who have to
date received their third strike? (Where possible, please provide name,
convictions for each of their three strikes and how many prior
convictions)

 

C: Of all offenders who have received their third strike, how many times
has the manifestly unjust provision been used to limit the use of a
non-parole period?

 

D: What is the most common offense committed which would be eligible for a
strike under the Sentencing and Parole Reform Act

 

E: What is the reoffending rate of those who have been sentenced to a
first or second strike when compared to offenders who have been sentenced
for crimes not covered under the Sentencing and Parole Reform Act. 

 

F: Would the repeal of the Sentencing and Parole Reform Act result in
lower sentences for high-risk offenders thereby increasing the risk to the
public if it were successful. 

 

Yours faithfully,

 

Lance O'Riley
