National committed to protecting communities

National is building a safer New Zealander. Since coming to office in 2008 we’ve embarked on a comprehensive programme of reform to protect communities, prevent crime, and put victims first.

We’ve strengthened sentencing, parole and bail. We’ve cracked down on gangs and P, and put more Police on the beat. National is putting victims first and giving them the support and services they need.

If re-elected National will stay tough on criminals, we will screen parole applications to reduce unnecessary hearings, increase penalties for child pornography, and introduce civil detention order for the most high-risk offenders who are at imminent risk of serious sexual or violent re-offending.
