- Abstract
This paper offers observations on the crime and penal institutions in New Zealand and discusses the innovations and experiments being carried on there in the field of corrections. First of all, the total system is centralized in Wellington, the capital of the country. Two new types of sentences which have been brought into existence are detention in a detention center and periodic detention. New Zealand is one of the very few countries in the world where statutory provision has been made for the payment of compensation to the victims of violent crimes. Group discussions have become part of the program at every penal institution in the country. In March 1964, a Classification Center for first-term adult male offenders was established. Since November 1965, selected inmates in all penal institutions have been allowed daily parole to engage in outside employment.
