Questo articolo riguarda policy carceraria in Nuova Zelanda—fuori scope per Warptech Tech News (che copre tech, AI, business, science). Se è un test del prompt di riassunto, ecco comunque il testo: --- New Zealand projects 63% surge in female prisoners by 2036 (839→1,370) due to tougher theft penalties in the Crimes Amendment Bill. The policy disproportionately affects women—theft is their leading remand offense (23%)—and signals stricter low-income crime enforcement.

The number of women serving time in prison is expected to surge 63 percent over the next decade, due to stronger punishments for theft.
That's compared to a predicted 35 percent increase in the total prison population.
The Ministry of Justice's annual projections report released on Friday said more women would be behind bars due to a proposed new law that would increase penalties for theft.
The women’s prison population is forecast to rise from 839 to 1370 by 2036.
