title: To report or not to report? Understanding the impacts of reporting decisions for family and sexual violence in Aotearoa New Zealand

authors: Cording, Jacinta

abstract: Most victims of family violence (FV) and sexual violence (SV) do not report their criminal victimisation to police, but instead their experiences remain part of the ‘dark figure of crime’, or the proportion of actual crimes committed that remain officially unrecorded. The gap between victimisation and reported victimisation has a number of broad consequences for the policies and practices of government.
In this report we combine New Zealand Crime and Victims Survey (NZCVS) and other Integrated Data Infrastructure (IDI) data to consider two broad questions. First, what individual, community and offence-related factors predict non-reporting of FV and SV offences to Police (RQ1)? Second, is reporting or not associated with differences in wellbeing outcomes (RQ2)? Our analyses help to contextualise research and policy that relies on reported crime, and to identify areas where, as a result, reporting-associated policy responses may have potential shortcomings.

title: Restorying the individual: The cultural dimension of special education in three Te Arawa sites

authors: Macfarlane, Angus H

subjects: Māori special education

abstract: On the basis of observation of three Te Arawa educational sites, it is argued here that a central characteristic of successful programmes that attend to Māori students with special needs is cultural-centredness. Significant aspects of that culture-centredness are outlined here, aspects that, it is argued, are fundamental to the process of restorying that is, it is argued, critical to the success of many Māori students, particularly those with special needs.
