That Mazengarb Report
Hey, anyone know where I can get a copy of a certain Report of the Special Committee on Moral Delinquency in Children and Adolescents?
As far as I can tell, unless (another) previous act applies, the Copyright Act 1994 appears to say that the report's not covered by any copyright. I wouldn't mind scanning a copy of it, as I see it as one of the most important government documents of the 1950s era to deal with juvenile delinquency. The problem so far has been trying to find someone with a copy that they're willing to part with momentarily.
It's not a graphic read, as a lot of stuff is still covered up, if anyone's wondering about any morbid fascination of mine (which there is none of).

Greetings Johnathan, I came across this coincidentally because I am doing an assignment on the Mazengarb report at the moment and tried an internet search. The report was printed and distributed to 300,000 homes in New Zealand - the biggest job ever up to that point for the government printers. If you cannot find the separate report in the university library it can be found in the Appendix to the Journals of the House of Representatives of New Zealand, Session 1954, volume IV, H-47.
