Sinoville crisis centre: evaluation of a volunteer based initiativeMason, Henry David 25 August 2009 (has links)
South Africa is a country steeped in decades of conflict and animosity. Apartheid and
its consequences do not simply die: it has created a society struggling for survival.
Against the backdrop of a country and its people still experiencing an extended social
crisis, these struggles are socially constructed through various forms of aggressive,
traumatic and violent behaviours such as crime victimisation. The resultant effect is
that many South Africans are traumatised and require assistance to manage and
deal with the impact of traumatic exposure. Counselling and psychological services
within the South African context are limited, potentially expensive and often
inaccessible to the poor.
One way to address the needs of victims of crime and violence, is through the
establishment of one-stop multidisciplinary crisis centres that specialise in short term
crisis intervention service delivery. One such a crisis centre is the Sinoville Crisis
Centre (SCC).
The purpose of the study is to present an exploratory qualitative and participatory
action research account of the SCC's endeavours and ongoing challenges in
providing crisis intervention services as well as to serve as a guideline for future
development.
Research interviews with seven (7) SCC counsellors were complimented with a focus
group interview. Subsequent conclusions were grounded in relation to relevant
subject theory.
Three (3) broad categories of recommendations are provided. Specific
recommendations are levelled in relation to:
* The SCC's crisis intervention models
* The SCC's need to manage organisational change and loss; and
* The SCC's role within the Victim Empowerment Programme. / Psychology / M.A. (Psychology)

Kriminologiese ontleding van die gebruik van forensiese kuns in die ondersteuning van slagoffers van geweldsmisdade in die Pretoria-area, Suid-AfrikaVisser, Henrico Pieter 02 1900 (has links)
Summaries in English and Afrikaans / This research explores the potential value for the application of the visual expressionistic arts, as well as the application of forensic art for the emancipation of victims of violent crime. Qualitative research methods are used in order to make certain assumptions and recommendations for the application of the forensic arts in the emancipation of traumatized victims. The research is based on the view that human behaviour is influenced by different internal and external contextual influences. The theoretical basis for the research is further supported by the grounding principals of the psycho-analytic, symbolic interactionistic and the phenomenological theoretical approaches. The potential for the application of the forensic arts during crisis intervention and trauma counselling as a therapeutic technique and a communication medium are investigated. The potential forensic value of the victims’ art for the criminal justice system is also explored during the research. / Die navorsing ondersoek die potensiele waarde vir die aanwending van die tradisionele visuele
beeldende kunste asook die aanwending van die forensiese kunste vir die emansipasie van slagoffers
van geweldsmisdaad. Kwalitatiewe navorsingsmetodes word tydens die navorsing gebruik ten einde
sekere afleidings en aanbevelings te maak aangaande die aanwending van die forensiese kuns vir die
emansipasie van getraumatiseerde misdaadslagoffers. Die navorsing word teoreties gebaseer op die
beskouing van die mens wie se gedrag beinvloed word deur verskillende interne en eksterne
kontekstuele invloede. Die teoretiese basis vir die navorsing word verder ondersteun deur die
grondbeginsels van die psigo-analise, simboliese interaksionisme en die fenomenologiese teoretiese
benaderings. Die potensiaal vir die aanwending van forensiese kuns as 'n terapeutiese tegniek en
kommunikasiemedium tydens krisisingryping en berading word ondersoek. Die potensiele forensiese
waarde van misdaadslagoffers se kuns in die regsplegingstelsel word ook in die navorsing ondersoek. / Criminology / M.A. (Criminology)
