The All Peoples Party says it will aim to address the escalating crime issue in Fiji by reintroducing corporal punishment in schools.

“We have to really find the root cause of the increasing crime rate among the indigenous youths,” said leader Pastor Tuiloma Tawaivuna.

“The crime rate is very alarming indeed among the iTaukei youths.

“It has become an issue now and that is why one of our party policies includes the reinstatement of corporal punishment in schools.”

Mr Tawaivuna said the party had policies in place to address juvenile crimes, especially in the indigenous communities.

“Street fights and after-hours brawls are increasing tremendously in the Capital City and the reinstatement of corporal punishment will surely address the issue including child sex abuse and teenage pregnancy.”
