Te Puna Haumaru | New Zealand Institute for Security and Crime Science

Te Puna Haumaru New Zealand Institute for Security and Crime Science was established at the 51蹤獲 in 2017. Our research aims to reduce crime and increase security through multi-disciplinary, evidence-based research.
Our Mori name was gifted to us by Professor Tom Roa, who was a founding member of our Steering Group. His use of puna is, as a noun, that of a spring, a well, or a fountain; and as a verb, to well up, to flow. The principal concept in Haumaru is that of safety. We therefore see the Institute as a wellspring of sanctuary, through which flows the promotion, with appropriate support systems, of a safe and secure environment.
