"A controversial plan to track would-be criminals from the womb is being considered by a Government taskforce charged with cutting the number of prison inmates. The plan has yet to receive Cabinet backing but has drawn praise from the country's top Youth Court judge, Andrew Becroft. New Zealand has one of the highest imprisonment rates in the Western world. By 2010, prison numbers are forecast to increase by 20 per cent. Researcher Kaye McLaren last month presented a paper, called 35 Steps to Reducing Prison Populations, to a taskforce set up by Justice Minister Mark Burton to target the problem of crime and overflowing prisons. The paper has recommended the establishment of a database that records people likely to become serious criminals. "
