There could be more plain speaking and less legal jargon, “being less stuffy”, as Taumaunu says. It’s a vast cry from an offender standing in a dock with just a Corrections officer for company. Judge Taumaunu calls it an all-encompassing approach, learned in part from the variety of ‘’specialist’’ courts around the country and from the reports over three and a half decades calling for reform of the system. Those courts include the Youth Court, Young Adults, Special Circumstances, Alcohol and Other Drug Treatment, Rangatahi and Pasifika whose approach is called a wrap-around. All the necessary services are in court to tackle the problems.
