The Ministry of Justice has launched a new digital engagement platform to help it understand what New Zealanders think about criminal justice reform.

The platform builds on the engagement undertaken by Te Uepū Hāpai i te Ora – Safe and Effective Justice Advisory Group and others over the last year or so by allowing members of the public to share their opinions on topics that have emerged from the national conversation to date.

The ministry says the survey takes about five minutes to complete.

“We’d also really appreciate your help spreading the word - we want to hear from as many New Zealanders as possible, so please share widely with your professional and personal networks,” says a ministry spokesperson.
