The Dark Side of Paradise

Explaining New Zealand’s History of High Imprisonment

John Pratt*

* Professor John Pratt, Institute of Criminology, School of Social and Cultural Studies, Victoria University of Wellington, PO Box 600, Wellington, New Zealand; John.Pratt{at}vuw.ac.nz.

This paper examines and explains the way in which cultural factors specific to New Zealand have contributed to this country’s historically high rate of imprisonment; certainly, when compared to the two jurisdictions it has most in common with Australia, and England and Wales, and, by extension, most other Western democratic societies.
