In 2019 the Chief Victims Advisor published her report Te Tangi o te Manawanui: Recommendations for Reform. In this report she identified the need to:
‘invest in promising kaupapa Māori and Tauiwi restorative and alternative resolution pathways, to better understand and improve existing alternative pathways for Māori and Tauiwi victims of crime, and to use them to establish the foundation for long term and transformational change’ (Chief Victims Advisor, 2019a).

This current report is one of two pieces of related work commissioned by the Chief Victims Advisor to
provide a foundational platform from which to progress this recommendation. Presented in this
report are findings from a critical review of literature related to victim-led alternative resolution
pathways (Part A). Working examples of Tauiwi models operating here in Aotearoa New Zealand (Aotearoa NZ) along with others from overseas have also been identified (Part B). A second report by another author has focused on kaupapa Māori resolution pathways (#8361) (Awa Associates, 2022). (From the Executive summary). Record #8360
