Welfare services
Because public social welfare services were available from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. the assistance that could be given to young offenders was limited, the chairman of the Auckland District Maori Council (Dr P. Hohepa) said in Christchurch. In an address at the University of Canterbury, Dr Hohepa said that expenditure of Government money on these agencies had been cut. Most young people who offended did so in the evening hours, and to be more effective, public social welfare agencies must operate in the evenings with the same efficiency- as the police did, Dr Hohepa said.
