新西兰提议的《判刑改革(修正)法案》旨在将监狱人口增加1,350人,并将减刑的减轻处罚因素限制在40%。 New Zealand's proposed Sentencing Reform (Amendment) Bill seeks to increase prison populations by 1,350 and limit sentence reductions for mitigating factors to 40%. 批评者认为这有损于司法裁量权,与现行法律相矛盾,缺乏适当的磋商,特别是与毛利人社区的磋商。 Critics argue this undermines judicial discretion, contradicts existing laws, and lacks proper consultation, particularly with Māori communities. 改革可能加剧法院积压案件,延长审判时间,使与罪犯心理健康和药物滥用有关的问题长期存在,引起人们对改革效果的关切。 The reforms could exacerbate court backlogs, increase trial durations, and perpetuate issues related to mental health and substance abuse among offenders, raising concerns about the effectiveness of the changes.
