   ...27 reports cease, judges will seek background information on defendants via other means. For example, they may request more psychologist reports (which frequently cover similar ground to section 27 reports) or enhanced pre-sentence reports from the probation service. It is also possible that there will be an increase in privately funded section 27 reports. Under both scenarios, the impact on the prison population will be lessened. However, adjournments for alternative reports are likely to...

For the reasons that follow, I do not consider that the evidence supports this view. 9...

These common themes are useful for policy development insofar as New Zealand may look to those countries that are facing similar challenges surrounding crime and victimisation for possible solutions.
