In my three years as justice Minister, it very quickly became clear to me that the best thing we could do to reduce crime was to intervene many, many years before the offenders ever turn up in court. That was the basis of my absolute adoption of the importance of social investment as championed by Sir Bill English. Yes, it's early intervention, but it's so much more and involves radical change to our delivery models if we're going to make progress on the hard intergenerational issues. Last week in her valedictory, the Hon Anne Tolley talked about the work that she and I had led to change the delivery model for family violence and to force agencies to come together to treat it as everyone's problem, not just something for the police. The integrated safety response pilots we set up in Christchurch and the Waikato are embodiments of that, and hearing from those involved that many lives have been saved as a result of that new way of working makes me incredibly proud.
