Crime ‘is not a vote catcher’

CANDIDATES in the General Election have been asked not to use crime as a cynical vote catcher.

Yesterday, an organisation representing victims of serious crime said every voter should ask tough questions and get their candidates to work for justice and fairness for families bereaved by homicide.

Advocates for Victims of Homicide (AdVIC), anational organisation that campaigns for greater rights for victims of homicide, yesterday released details of their election charter.
