The Justice and Police Minister says the Government's surpassed its own violent crime reduction target. 

It set a goal in March last year of having 20 thousand fewer victims of serious violent crime, with an initial 2029 deadline. 

It claims it鈥檚 already beat the deadline, but admits the data is volatile and subject to change. 

Chief Victims Advisor Ruth Money told John MacDonald that although she鈥檚 delighted by the figures, she鈥檚 cautious in her celebrations since it鈥檚 only quarterly data. 

But she says we do also need to acknowledge that there are a lot of crimes that aren鈥檛 disclosed willingly, so these numbers, although encouraging, are volatile.
