United Future Policies
	Tough Sentences for Violent Crimes
		Introduce tougher penalties for child abuse and neglect.
		Ensure offences against children receive at least the same penalties as offences against adults.
		Provide for cumulative sentences rather than concurrent sentences so that multiple offenders pay for each crime they have committed, not just one.
		Introduce mandatory guidelines, including higher minimum sentences to ensure sentencing reflects nature of the offending, and reflects the overwhelming concern of New Zealanders with overly lenient sentencing.
		In the case of heinous murders, ensure criminals face life imprisonment, without the possibility of parole.
