10 mar 1954 año - Special Committee on Moral Delinquency in Children and Young Persons report

Descripción:

Increasingly throughout the 1950s and 1960s, Pakeha New Zealanders began to regard
State housing as undesirable, and solely for 'misfits' and 'losers. The Government's
emphasis on private home-ownership had resulted in large 'ghettos' of State houses with high concentrations of low-income families. The findings of the 1954 Special Committee on
Moral Delinquency in Children and Young Persons served to confirm in many minds the
undesirability of State houses. Amid social hysteria, the Mazengarb Report, as the
committee's report became known popularly, apportioned much of the culpability for the
loosening of morality to State houses settlements. In the post-war era, many Pakeha State house tenants were acutely aware that the path to respectability lay in home-ownership and
not in renting from the State
