National puts victims first
July 22, 2010
Craig Foss MP for Tukituki says “National is working hard to deliver on our election promises in law and order to make families feel safer in their homes and communities. As part of that we’ve introduced a range of initiatives to put victims at the heart of the justice system. These include on the-spot safety orders, an offender levy, and more support for victims.”
“Family must come first,” said Craig. “With these latest measures that is exactly what we are saying. Victims have been neglected for long and I for one am delighted that this will no longer be the case.”
“Crime affects our communities, our society, and our economy. But most of all it affects the victims of crime and their families. They have to deal with the emotional, physical, and financial effects of crime long after it’s been committed.
On 1 July the National-led Government introduced a range of measures to improve services for victims of crime. We all need to be realistic about what is happening in our communities and I believe that this is the start of addressing these issues.”
