Fewer offenders of Māori descent are offered PCWs than others. The main reason for this is that Māori tend to have higher levels of previous offending. To address this, Police is piloting an enhanced initiative, aimed at Māori offenders ineligible for a PCW or diversion because of their offending history. This would enable Police Iwi Liaison Officers (ILOs) to work with Māori offenders on alternative resolutions which avoid prosecution and include conditions not normally applied to PCWs, such as community work.
