The Prime Minister has announced a long overdue no nonsense hard line on fighting crime.
He will certainly have public support.
But here’s one good move that I doubt has occurred to him and that’s to get more women judges.
The constant ludicrous home detention sentences dished out to criminals on the grounds of their hard, mostly maori upbringings, are largely the domain of male judges.
On my observation most woman judges are not so gullible and know, almost intuitively, the truth of the four centuries old maxim. “Spare the rod and spoil the child”.
The excuse of having experienced a rotten home life is in itself evidence of cause and effect logic re behaviour.
Thus, ensuring they have an even worse prison life will presumably see them do nothing to endure it again, or in other words re crime and punishment, make sure the punishment outweighs the crime.
The example of El Salvador is overwhelming evidence of this hard reality, common sense logic.
Hitherto a gang ridden hell-hole, now it’s one of the safest crime-free countries in the world, by the simple process of a no mercy approach to criminals.

If only, Sir Bob, if only.
If my mother were still around, she would be ideally suited to dole out punishment that fits the crime along with several other reasons not to want to come before her again.
I'm sure there are women in the judiciary out there who could and would act as you suggest. And do a fantastic job of it.
I would have thought the female judges are far, far worse than the males when it comes to soft sentencing.
Same goes for voting. Poll results always show heavy female bias towards left wing and "green" (i.e. very left wing) parties whereas males favour right of centre parties.
true justice, its definition, is to receive the consequences of your actions
hopefully Annette sykes cannot be made ajudge.
What astonishes me is that gaol seems to offer little discouragement. The recent description of being caged for 23 hours seems unimaginable, even with all my books. Would not even have access to BV. Yet many come back for more. What do they think about all day and night?. Decades ago there was at least the distraction of breaking rocks. Or could have landed a holiday retreat like Ohura.The nearest torture I can imagine would be one of those ocean cruises.
We have seen some absolutely stupid and often race based sentences being dished out for sure. Agree with a lot of the comments until common sense prevails and ppl are held accountable including judges for not dishing out proper sentences we the ppl will have little faith in this system that favors the crims no end. Trust me, in Lil Ole NZ, crime pays! Especially if you are Maori.
Judge *Melinda Mason* reluctantly sent a young offender to prison following a smash and grab of a jewellery store, but told him, “we’re not giving up on you”.
One has to wonder if this was a judge or a heartbroken parent!
I'm unsure if the judge declared 'their' pronouns, but this can't be the model Sir Jones recommends.
