Labour says the Government's achieving nothing with its reforms to sentencing laws.
The Government's first quarterly report on public service targets shows rates of people victimised had risen by June, by 30 thousand people.
It aims to reduce that by 20 thousand within the next six years.
It's bringing sentencing law reforms to Parliament this week to reduce discounts and add aggravating factors.
Labour Justice Spokesperson Duncan Webb told Ryan Bridge there's no substance to it.
He says they're simply giving the rules a quick coat of paint and adding nothing.
