Sector Overview Statement
The justice sector and its outcomes framework
Collectively, the justice sector aims to provide accessible justice, and encourage a safe and just society where people enjoy civil and democratic rights.
To do this, a wide range of actors are involved in providing services within the complex and interconnected civil system and criminal justice system. The diagram below highlights some of the government agencies involved. Other independent players include the judiciary, New Zealand Parole Board and a number of scientific, technical and advocacy specialists.
Justice sector Ministers recognise that achieving the best outcomes for people participating in justice sector processes requires all relevant agencies to be working towards the same goals. In 2006/07 Ministers agreed to an outcomes framework (noted above) to drive an enduring focus for work across the justice sector. It also provides an overview for agencies and stakeholders who need to interact with the agencies concerned.
