新西兰警方斥责高级警官管束儿童腰带, 但IPCA却称惩罚“严重不足”。 New Zealand police censure senior officer for belt disciplining children, but IPCA calls punishment "grossly inadequate."

一名新西兰高级警官承认曾三次使用皮带管教其子女,独立警察行为管理局认为是殴打。 A senior New Zealand police officer admitted to using a belt to discipline his children on three occasions, which the Independent Police Conduct Authority deemed as assault. 虽然该警官没有因为证据不足而面临刑事指控,但他因严重不当行为受到谴责。 Though the officer faced no criminal charges due to insufficient evidence, he was censured for serious misconduct. 鉴于该官员的资历和责任,该委员会批评这项制裁“严重不足”。 The IPCA criticized the sanction as "grossly inadequate" considering the officer's seniority and responsibility.
