"What 'relevant offence' means in the law, including serious crimes like sexual or violent offences"

Illustration for Parole Act 2002

When you hear the terms 'relevant offence', 'relevant sexual offence', and 'relevant violent offence', they refer to specific crimes. A relevant offence includes crimes like sexual violation, attempted sexual violation, and assault with intent to commit sexual violation, which are found in the Crimes Act 1961. It also includes trying to commit these crimes, or being part of a plan to commit them.

A relevant sexual offence is a crime that involves sexual violation, such as sexual violation, attempted sexual violation, or assault with intent to commit sexual violation. You can find these crimes in the Crimes Act 1961.

A relevant violent offence is a crime that involves violence, such as murder, attempt to murder, or wounding with intent. These crimes are also found in the Crimes Act 1961.

Some crimes that happened outside New Zealand can also be considered relevant offences if they would be crimes in New Zealand. Additionally, some crimes under the Films, Videos, and Publications Classification Act 1993 can be relevant offences if they involve things like promoting the exploitation of children for sexual purposes, or describing sexual conduct with children.
