From your edits, it is obvious that this is another sockpuppet account of Offender9000 (talk · contribs). In particular, I note that this account's edits have only been to articles targeted by Offender9000, and there is a very strong similarity in the POV being advanced (e.g. that the NZ criminal justice system is dysfunctional, with the prison system being particularly problematic, and various named people are to blame). A couple of example edits are:

This edit attacking "Garth McVicar of the Sensible Sentencing Trust" who Offender regularly targeted, cited to a source of questionable reliability which quotes Roger Brooking at length (who Offender identified as being and often cited and who confirmed this on their blog)
This edit inserting the views of Mr Brooking in another article.

I also note that there are a range of other quirks to the editing style which are consistent with Offender and their other sockpuppets.

Any reviewing admin should be aware that the person behind the Offender account has used their personal blog and the mainstream NZ media to attack and attempt to 'out' editors who've tried to stop their POV pushing in the past. Nick-D (talk) 21:43, 31 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
