The Federation of Justices’ Associations has re-affirmed by 29 votes to 12 a recommendation that courts be empowered to order birthing where necessary for offences against the person. The same remit was passed last year and was brought up again at today’s annual conference “in view of the alarming increase in serious crimes against the person in the last year.” A Wellington remit that the Minister of Justice give consideration to the question of empowering the courts to impose a more salutary and deterrent form of punishment was also carried.
