PAPA is running this campaign in response to the currentmoral panic around crime. We are concerned about how this moral panic has beenused to justify 'tough on crime' policies like increased policing, harsher prisonsentences, and youth boot camps. That is why PAPA is running Care Not Cages. Thecampaign aims to oppose tough on crime policies and to transform our criminaljustice system into one that centres (re)habilitation, restoration,transformation and prevention while also honouring Te Tiriti. The central demandfor this campaign is for the Government to implement all 12 recommendations fromthe Turuki! Turuki! report. They are inviting media, allied organisations and thepublic to attend the Care Not Cages launch. They will hear from Emmy Rakete,Julia Whaipooti, Aphiphany Forward-Taua, Awatea Mita and other speakers about thecampaign, its demands and what actions you can take to support the campaign.There will be the opportunity to ask questions about Care Not Cages.
