The policy is likely to be more effective in New Zealand because our version does not allow for parole (which the English policy does) and because, unlike England, we are not vulnerable to “burglary tourism” from foreigners whose previous convictions are difficult to determine. New Zealand’s experience of the three strikes policy for violent crime also suggests a significant deterrence effect of such policies. About 4,000 New Zealanders are sitting on a first strike but only 32 have a second strike.
