*Why, and how, should crime be punished? And then what?*

Kim Workman is this week's guest In Conversation with Noel Cheer on Triangle/Stratos Television. He is dedicated to "rethinking crime and punishment". With New Zealand's high rate of imprisonment -- second only to the US in the Western world -- there seems to be considerable scope for asking why our penal policies are so ineffective at rehabilitation.

We need, says Kim Workman, to look for better processes. * Stratos Television,* Nationwide: Monday July 4th at the new time of 8:00pm (repeated July 6th at 6:30am and July 8th at 12:30pm).
