"Restorative Justice; a soft option for offenders?"
Mark and Miranda will lead the discussion on the preconception that Restorative Justice offers a soft option for offenders; where it fits in the criminal justice system in Aotearoa, and the central role of the victim in the process as well as the impact and outcomes for the offender.
Yaza opens for dining/drinks at 6.00pm. Conversation 7.30-9.30pm.
Wearing your mask while not eating or drinking is encouraged.

Poll: Do you think banning gang patches is reasonable?
With the government cracking down on gangs, it is now illegal for gang members to display their insignia in public places whether through clothing or their property.
This means arrests can be made if these patches are worn in places like restaurants, shops, on public transport or ferries, and on airplanes. Arrests were made recently at a funeral.
