"In 2025, 184,000 New Zealanders were victims of burglary. Burglary is a recidivist crime, with the majority of people released from prison for burglary sent back to prison within two years. Nearly three-quarters are resentenced. Around one in four burglary victims have already been burgled before," McKee said.
"Judges keep using their leeway to give burglars more chances, and the burglars keep reoffending".
