Gun violence among criminal networks : A quantitative analysis of Swedish police officers’ perceptions on crime prevention workWest, Emma January 2022 (has links)
Purpose This study amied to explore how police officers perceived the crime prevention efforts taken against gun violence in Sweden. Of particularly interest was to examine how certain efforts were perceived by the police officers, to be more or less effective when it comes to prevent gun violence from occurring among criminal networks. In this study, I explored which perceived effect certain efforts included under the working methods of community policing and problem-oriented policing had, as well as other efforts undertaken by law enforcement. Method Police officers who either worked in Gothenburg or Malmö city were targeted by the study. In sum, I received responses from 99 participants, in an on-line based questionnaire. The participants were selected through convenience sampling. Descriptive statistics are offered, and bivariate analyses were employed to identify officers’ perception differences of policing efficacy in vulnerable areas compared to non-vulnerable areas, and efficacy of law enforcement. Results The analyzes in the study, showed that the police officers overall perceived that the method of community policing to be crime preventive. This was especially the case for the vulnerable areas and in relation to the effort of an increased local police presence. As for the other method, problem-oriented policing, the officers particularly perceived that the effort of secret data eavesdropping to have the strongest crime prevention effect in both areas. The effort was also perceived to have more of an effect then both efforts included under community policing. As for hot spot policing, the other effort included under problem-oriented policing, the effort was overall perceived to have less of an effect among the officers. This was the cases for both areas. As for the importance to particularly prevent criminal networks possessions and sales of illegal drugs and weapons, community policing and problem-oriented policing were not perceived to be effective enough. As for the effect of the efforts undertaken by the law enforcement, a tougher approach against crime was among the police officers perceived to have the most effect. Conclusion The results of the study show that there is a continued increased need for evaluations of crime prevention efforts. The study also showed that there is an increased need that we as researchers, needs to further collaborate with the police force in order to further develop the craft of policing. / <p>2022-09-16</p>

The identification of a municipal policing model for Mangaung municipalityMokoena, L. J. 31 May 2007 (has links)
The researcher investigated and identified a municipal policing model for Mangaung Local Municipality. The five municipalities that have established a municipal police services in terms of the South African Police Service Amendment Act, Act 83/1998 were identified. Fifteen members of these municipalities who were involved in the establishment of a municipal police services, were interviewed to acquire First hand information on the process of establishing a municipal police service. The purpose of the study was to explore and therefore it required the research to be a qualitative approach, because the adversities the officials encountered were comprehended. Judgemental sampling was engaged to select participants since it was necessary to describe rather than to generalize and it also relevant to ensure that comparisons on the data collected are recognized. Three out of five municipalities that were investigated converted from traffic departments to municipal police services. Traffic officers of these municipalities undertook a bridging course determined by the National Commissioner of Police and to augment the numbers of the municipal police service members, these municipalities recruited and trained security officers. The Ethekweni municipality converted the then Durban City Police Department and other traffic departments that amalgamated with it to form a municipal police service. Unlike the other municipalities, Cape Town Metro recruited new members and trained them to formed a municipal police service in addition to the existing traffic departments and law enforcement agency. Mangaung Municipality should convert the existing traffic department and follow the route model to establish a municipal police service and augment the number of the municipal police service members by recruiting within the security division. / Criminology / M.Tech.

An analysis of the influence of politics on policing in EthiopiaWorkneh Gebeyehu Woldekidan 03 1900 (has links)
Text in English / The study was designed to determine the influence of politics in policing in Ethiopia generally pre-1991 and post-1991 as this is the period that characterise the Ethiopian political system, which underwent tremendous changes taking along various initiatives in its move towards democratisation. It is important to note how policing was figured and reconfigured during this period in view of its critical role in the social and political system of the country. In fact, during
turbulent and peaceful political changes in the country it was often used as an arm to safeguard or brutalise people. The study also indicates the extent to which the Ethiopian police as an institution has been mandated to maintain law and order while at the same time has undergone various structural and organisational changes in an attempt to move it away from undue political influence.
Furthermore, the study indicates the extent to which policing is embedded into politics which by itself is a challenge because the police are expected to be professionally independent in order to uphold the rule of law while at the same time guaranteeing the safety and security of all the inhabitants of the country. This indicates the interconnectedness of policing and politics as the police are required to enforce the laws that are enacted by the government and influenced by the
ruling party. Government policies are politically driven and formulated by the party in power, thus making politics to create and direct police institutions in the fulfilment of peace and security in the country. Despite the fact that the police should operate within certain degree of independence, they still have to take orders and direction from the politically established government. That is why the determination of the degree of influence is essential as it indicates whether there is undue influence or not. In view of the above inter-related issues, this thesis aims to analyse the influence of politics in policing in Ethiopia indicating how this has influenced policing in various eras. / Police Practice / D.

Police officers' experiences of policing domestic violence in the Western Cape ProvinceRetief, Rita Theresa 12 1900 (has links)
Thesis (PhD)--Stellenbosch University, 2013. / ENGLISH ABSTRACT: Domestic violence is one of the most prevalent forms of violence that police officials
encounter on a daily basis. The effects of domestic violence are far-reaching and
long-lasting. Globally, the police function as “gatekeepers” in terms of domestic
violence victims’ access to the criminal justice system. Intervening in domestic
violence has become a controversial process, as domestic violence is a very
complex issue, which has been compounded by misunderstandings, stereotyping
and myths.
Since 1998, police officials in the South African Police Service (SAPS) are expected
to promote redress and prevent crimes against women and children through
multifaceted approaches, including the building of trust between police officials and
citizens. Research reports indicate that victims of domestic violence are hesitant to
approach SAPS for assistance, for various reasons. Police officers’ personal
experiences of policing domestic violence are however largely unexplored.
Consequently, the goal of this research was to gain insight into the experiences and
perceptions of frontline police officials, who have to provide maximum protection to
victims of domestic abuse in terms of the Domestic Violence Act 116 of 1998. To
achieve the goal and objectives of the study, a combination approach was followed,
in which the qualitative research approach dominated and the quantitative approach
was applied to a lesser degree. An exploratory study guided by a literature review
and a phenomenological approach was conducted at seven (7) police stations in the
Western Cape Province. Twenty-eight (28) frontline police officials’ subjective
experiences and perceptions of their policing of domestic violence were determined
through in-depth interviews based on a questionnaire.
Data were analysed by means of thematic analysis, and presented as narratives
focusing on four major themes relating to the phenomenon under investigation.
The conclusions drawn from the study indicated that the pervasive police culture,
lack of insight by some police officials, and their continuous adherence to an outdated concept of domestic violence contribute to the weakening implementation
of current domestic violence legislation, leaving police officials frustrated, hopeless
and powerless to effect real change. The overall finding of the study is that, in
practice, little has changed because of inconsistencies in the actions of the police
and society as a whole in rejecting and condemning the brutalisation and intimidation
of women and children. What is most unfortunate, however, is that SAPS has yet to
accord the same weight to domestic violence in practice as it does to other violent
crimes. In order for law enforcement to be effective, law reforms need to be
accompanied by fundamental changes in attitudes, values and behaviours on the
part of SAPS and all relevant role players, including the communities SAPS serves.
The study concludes with recommendations on how to improve police officials’ ability
to provide maximum protection to victims of domestic violence, as well as to provide
programme developers and policy makers in SAPS with information on which to
base policy decisions regarding training interventions and national instructions aimed
at the policing of domestic violence. / AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Huishoudelike geweld is een van die algemeenste vorme van geweld wat
polisiebeamptes daagliks teëkom. Die gevolge van huishoudelike geweld is
verreikend en langdurig. Wêreldwyd dien die polisie as “hekwagters” wat slagoffers
van huishoudelike geweld se toegang tot die strafregstelsel betref. Ingryping in
huishoudelike geweld is deesdae ’n omstrede proses, want huishoudelike geweld is
’n uiters komplekse saak wat deur misverstande, stereotipering en mites vererger
word.
Sedert 1998 word daar van polisiebeamptes in die Suid-Afrikaanse Polisiediens
(SAPD) verwag om deur middel van meervlakkige benaderings, onder meer die
opbou van vertroue tussen polisiebeamptes en burgers, herstel te bevorder en
misdaad teen vroue en kinders te voorkom. Navorsingsverslae toon dat die
slagoffers van huishoudelike geweld om verskeie redes huiwerig is om die SAPD om
hulp te nader. Tog is navorsing oor polisiebeamptes se persoonlike ervarings van die
polisiëring van huishoudelike geweld baie skaars.
Hierdie navorsing was dus daarop toegespits om insig te bekom in die ervarings en
opvattings van frontlinie-polisiebeamptes, wat ingevolge die Wet op Huishoudelike
Geweld 116 van 1998 maksimum beskerming aan slagoffers van huishoudelike
geweld moet bied. Om die doel en oogmerke van die studie te bereik, is ’n
kombinasie benadering gevolg waarin die kwalitatiewe navorsingsbenadering
hoofsaaklik, en die kwantitatiewe benadering in ’n mindere mate, toegepas is. ’n
Ondersoekende studie is aan die hand van ’n literatuuroorsig en ’n fenomenologiese
benadering by sewe (7) polisiestasies in die provinsie Wes-Kaap onderneem. Agten-
twintig (28) frontlinie-polisiebeamptes se subjektiewe ervarings van, en opvattings
oor, hul polisiëring van huishoudelike geweld is deur middel van diepte-onderhoude
op grond van ’n vraelys bepaal.
Data is met behulp van tematiese analise ontleed en word aangebied as narratiewe
wat oor vier hooftemas met betrekking tot die studieonderwerp handel. Die gevolgtrekkings van die studie doen aan die hand dat die heersende
polisiekultuur, sommige polisiebeamptes se gebrek aan insig, en hul voortgesette
navolging van ’n verouderde konsep van huishoudelike geweld tot die al hoe
swakker toepassing van huidige wetgewing oor huishoudelike geweld lei. Dít laat
polisiebeamptes gefrustreerd, moedeloos en magteloos om werklike verandering
teweeg te bring. Die algehele bevinding van die studie is dat weinig in die praktyk
verander het weens teenstrydigheid in die optrede van die polisie en die samelewing
in die geheel om geweld en intimidasie teenoor vroue en kinders te verwerp en te
veroordeel. Straks méér betreurenswaardig is dat die SAPD nog nie in die praktyk
dieselfde gewig aan huishoudelike geweld as aan ander geweldsmisdade heg nie.
Wetstoepassing sal slegs doeltreffend wees indien regshervorming gepaardgaan
met grondliggende veranderinge in houdings, waardes en gedrag deur die SAPD en
alle tersaaklike rolspelers, met inbegrip van die gemeenskappe wat deur die SAPD
bedien word.
Die studie sluit af met aanbevelings oor hoe polisiebeamptes beter in staat gestel
kan word om maksimum beskerming aan die slagoffers van huishoudelike geweld te
bied, en oor die bemagtiging van programontwikkelaars en beleidskrywers in die
SAPD met inligting as grondslag vir beleidsbesluite oor opleidingsintervensies en
nasionale instruksies rakende die polisiëring van huishoudelike geweld.

Developing a model to improve service delivery regarding the monitoring of policing conductBardien, Zubaida 12 1900 (has links)
Thesis (MPA (School of Public Management and Planning))--University of Stellenbosch, 2005. / The purpose of this thesis is to develop a new model to improve service delivery regarding the monitoring of policing conduct.
A comparative study of international civilian oversight bodies dealing with complaints against the police will be conducted to develop and implement an appropriate model to replace the current referral model with an investigative monitoring system to improve processes that ensure that the police remain accountable for their performance and conduct. The research design will both encompass model building and comparative studies.
The basis of the theoretical framework of this thesis is service delivery which is the significance of developing a new model for the Policing Complaints Centre. Service delivery is dealt with in terms of the service industry and service processes, its functioning regarding problem solving, finance and accountability, the challenges facing service delivery and the basic principles and values governing public administration and the role and function of the Public Service Commission.
The Legislative Framework for Monitoring Policing Conduct is stipulated in the Constitution of the Republic of South Africa, Act 108 of 1996 and the South African Police Service Act, Act 68 of 1995. This includes the policing functions vested in the Provinces and particularly the mandate of the Policing Complaints Centre in terms of the monitoring policing conduct as well as the limitations set on the provinces. Independent Police Complaints Commission of the United Kingdom. These models will be used because both these civilian oversight bodies operate independently from the policing agencies and therefore the credibility and integrity of the complaints model will be upheld.
The main objectives of the new model will be to address the issues of the complainants and provide feedback as soon as possible to the complainants so that public confidence and trust in the police and in the complaints system of the Department can be increased.
The new model will concentrate on a different method of dealing with complaints in that all complaints will firstly be evaluated to ascertain whether it is an inquiry or if it is a complaint. If is an enquiry it will be referred to the relevant authority and if it is a complaint it must be decided if an investigation will be conducted, or if an intervention in the form of a formal mediation or informal mediation must take place or in the monitoring of an investigation/inquiry.
It has been recommended that the new complaints model and the database management system be implemented to ascertain whether this new model is keeping the police accountable for their performance and conduct.

An integrated development approach for policing : the case of Operation Good - HopeDe Lange, Romeo 12 1900 (has links)
Thesis (MPA)--Stellenbosch University, 2000. / ENGLISH ABSTRACT: This study was embarked upon to identify an alternative approach to policing. It was
an attempt to investigate whether an integrated development approach will be more
successful in preventing crime and violence than heterogeneous police task teams and
operations. Operation Good - Hope in the Western Cape, a SAPS crime prevention
strategy to police the urban terror and related crimes (PAGAD and gang violence),
was the focus of the study.
Plurality of research methodology was introduced to compile data. The data collected
was analysed in relation to the topic and the objective of the study and to the research
hypothesis.
Based on the data analysis the following are the main research findings:
• a working relationship existed between various SAPS components within
Operation Good - Hope, but was not properly managed and coordinated;
• Operation Good - Hope did not allowed for external collaboration with
relevant stakeholders and showed no sense of partnership;
• Operation Good - Hope did not police the social crime problems; and
• Operation Good - Hope was not shaped by a clear analysis and cohesive
strategy.
The findings of the study gave rise to the following recommendations:
• That a local - based strategy for crime prevention be develop and lead by local
government to normalise crime and violence; • That a provincial framework be developed for an integrated development
approach to police and stabalise serious violent crimes;
• That crime prevention solutions must be based on factors that causes crime;
and
• A crime prevention strategy be designed and implemented.
Finally, the study indicates that provincial crime prevention strategies should be
supplementive to local - based crime prevention strategies, to simultaneously
stabalise and normalise crime and violence. / AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Die studie is onderneem om 'n alternatiewe benadering tot polisieëring te identifiseer.
Dit is ook 'n poging om uit te vind of 'n geïntegreerde ontwikkelingsbenadring meer
suksesvol is as hetrogene polisie taakspanne en operasies met die bekamping van
misdaad en geweld. Operasie Goeie - Hoop in die Wes - Kaap, 'n SAPD
misdaadvoorkoming strategie om stedelike terreur en verwante misdade (PAGAD en
bende geweld) te polisieer, was die fokus van die studie.
Data was ingesamel deur middel van 'n pluraliteit van navorsingsmetodologie. Die
ingesamelde data was geanaliseer in verhouding tot die tema, doelwitte van die studie
en met die navorsingshipotese.
Gebaseer op die data analise, is die volgende die hoof bevindinge van die studie:
• Daar was samewerking tussen verskillende SAPD komponente betrokke by
Operasie Goeie - Hoop, maar dit was nie deeglik bestuur en gekoordineer nie;
• Operasie Goeie - Hoop het nie voorsiening gemaak vir eksterne samewerking
en vennootskap met relevante rolspelers nie;
• Operasie Goeie - Hoop het nie die sosiale - misdaad probleme gepolisieër nie;
en
• Operasie Goeie - Hoop was nie bestuur deur 'n deeglike analise en deur 'n
samehangende strategie nie. Die studie het tot die volgende aanbevelings gelei:
• Die ontwikkeling van 'n plaaslike - gebaseerde strategie vir
misdaadvoorkoming onder leiding van die plaaslike regering om misdaad en
geweld te normaliseer;
• Die ontwikkeling van 'n provinsiale raamwerk vir 'n geïntegreerde
ontwikkelingsbenadering tot polisieëring en om ernstige geweldsmisdade te
stabaliseer;
• Dat oplossings tot misdaadvoorkoming gebaseer moet wees op faktore wat
misdaad veroorsaak; en
• Dat 'n misdaadvoorkomingstrategie ontwerp en geïmplimenteer moet word.
Ten slotte toon die studie aan dat 'n provinsiale misdaadvoorkomingstrategie
ondersteunend moet wees tot 'n plaaslike - gebaseerde misdaadvoorkomingstrategie,
om te gelyke tyd misdaad en geweld te stabaliseer en te normaliseer.

An integrated feedback and strategic management process for the SA Police Service in the Western CapeBeukes, Isak 12 1900 (has links)
Thesis (MPA)--Stellenbosch University, 2000. / ENGLISH ABSTRACT: The year 1999 was announced as the year of service delivery by the National
Commissioner of Police, and the Police Plan for the RSA underwent a name
change to the "policy priorities and objectives" in the same year. The Police
Plan, consisting of policy priorities and objectives and internal focus areas, can
be seen as the strategic plan of the South African Police Service. Such a
strategic plan needs an implementation plan to put it into operation and ensure
the involvement of every member in the Service. The prime objective of the
South African Police Service is the establishment of a safe and secure
environment in partnership with the community. The emphasis should
therefore be on -
• improving the quality and effectiveness of service to the community;
• supporting the transformation process in South Africa in general and in
the South African Police Service in particular;
• instituting a new style of Community Policing and Management; and
• establishing a process for efficient and effective policing.
The above priorities consist of a number of objectives to put actions into
operation in order to reach a desired outcome. These actions will be
addressed at all managerial levels from top to lower levels through the
integrated planning process.
The South African Police Service in the Western Cape is divided into four
policing areas at present, namely the Eastern Metropole, Western Metropole,
Boland and Southern Cape.
Each area consists of stations which are responsible to the Area, and each
station must give feedback to the Area on its strategic management plan.
The strategic management plan of the SAPS in the Western Cape can be seen
as a combination of the Policing Priorities and Objectives for the province, the
Service Delivery Improvement Programme (SDIP) and the Area Operational
Plan.
The main goal of this research project is to design an integrated Strategic
Management model through which every Police Station in the Western Cape
can provide feedback in the Strategic Management processes. / AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Die jaar 1999 is tot die jaar van dienslewering deur die Nasionale Kommissaris
van Polisie verklaar, en die Polisieplan vir die RSA het 'n naamverandering na
die "beleidsprioriteite en doelwitte" in dieselfde jaar ondergaan. Die
Polisieplan, wat bestaan uit beleidsprioriteite en doelwitte en interne
fokusareas, kan as die strategiese plan van die Suid-Afrikaanse Polisiediens
beskou word. So 'n strategiese plan benodig 'n implementeringsplan om dit in
werking te stel en die betrokkenheid van alle lede van die Diens te verseker.
Die hoofdoelwit van die Suid-Afrikaanse Polisiediens is om 'n veilige en
beveiligde omgewing in 'n vennootskap met die gemeenskap te bewerkstellig.
Daarom behoort die klem te val op -
• verbetering van die kwaliteit en doeltreffendheid van die diens aan die
gemeenskap;
• ondersteuning van die transformasieproses in Suid-Afrika in die algemeen
en in die Suid-Afrikaanse Polisiediens in die besonder;
• die instelling van 'n nuwe styl van Gemeenskapspolisiëring en bestuur; en
• die vestiging van 'n proses vir doelmatige en doeltreffende polisiëring.
Bovermelde prioriteite bestaan uit 'n aantal doelwitte om aksies in werking te
stel ten einde 'n beoogde resultaat te bereik. Hierdie aksies moet op alle
bestuursvlakke vanaf topbestuur tot die laer vlakke deur die geïntegreerde
beplanningsproses geloods word.
Die Suid-Afrikaanse Polisiediens in die Wes-Kaap is in vier polisiëringsareas
opgedeel, naamlik die Oos-Metropool, Wes-Metropool, Boland en Suid-Kaap.
Elke area bestaan uit stasies wat aan die Area verantwoordelik is, en elke
stasie moet aan die Area terugvoer verskaf oor sy strategiese bestuursplan.
Die strategiese bestuursplan van die SAPD in die Wes-Kaap kan beskou word
as 'n kombinasie van die Polisiëringsprioriteite en Doelwitte vir die provinsie,
die Dienslewering Verbeteringsprogram (DVP) en die Area Operasionele Plan.
Die hoofdoel van hierdie navorsingsprojek is om 'n geïntegreerde strategiese
bestuursmodel te ontwerp waardeur alle polisiestasies in die Wes-Kaap
terugvoer kan gee in die Strategiese Bestuursprosesse.

Misdaadvoorkoming in Elsiesrivier : 'n gevallestudieRademeyer, Ignatius M. 12 1900 (has links)
Thesis (MPA)--Stellenbosch University, 2000. / ENGLISH ABSTRACT: The researcher focuses on the contributions made by community involvement, including
community policing and crime prevention strategies, on the prevention of attempted
murder in Elsies River, a gang ridden area.
A theoretical overview of community policing and crime prevention is provided. The
combination of crime prevention strategies, community involvement and role players to
prevent the contribution caused that give rise to crime, receive attention.
Against this background the applicability of social crime prevention - internationally
tested policing strategies included - is discussed in order to review the act of attempted
murder. Furthemore, the application of the solutions presented at ground level receive
attention and reasons are offered for the successful implementation of the Elsies River
Community- Police Crime Prevention Action Plan in 1998. The reality is compared to the
theory and conclusions are drawn concerning the handling of the problem.
Gang activities in Elsies River and the impact thereof on the reporting of attempted
murder is summarised. The Elsies River Community- Police Crime Prevention Action Plan
which was implemented between April and June 1998, is discussed and the influence
thereof on the reporting of attempted murder is analysed statistically.
In conclusion the findings of the research are enunciated and recommendations are
made to the successful prevention of crime. / AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: In hierdie werkstuk word die voorkoming van poging tot moord in Elsiesrivier, 'n
bendegeteisterde gebied, deur middel van gemeenskapsbetrokkenheid,
gemeenskapspolisiëring ingesluit, en misdaadvoorkomingstrategieë ondersoek.
'n Teoretiese oorsig van gemeenskapspolisiëring en misdaadvoorkoming word gegee.
Die kombinering van misdaadvoorkomingstrategieë, gemeenskapsbetrokkenheid en die
betrokkenheid van rolspelers om die aanleidende faktore wat tot misdaad lei te
voorkom, geniet aandag.
Teen hierdie agtergrond word die toepaslikheid van sosiale misdaadvoorkoming, waarby
ingesluit internasionaal getoetste polisiëringstrategieë, bespreek om die voorkoms van
poging tot moord aan te spreek. Voorts geniet die toepassing van die voorgestelde
oplossings op grondvlak aandag en redes word aangevoer waarom die implementering
van die Elsiesrivier Gemeenskap- Polisie Misdaadvoorkomingsaksieplan in 1998 so
suksesvol was. Die praktyk word met die teorie vergelyk en gevolgtrekkings word
gemaak rakende die hantering van die probleem.
Bendebedrywighede in Elsiesrivier en die impak daarvan op die aanmelding van poging
tot moord word oorsigtelik behandel. Die Elsiesrivier Gemeenskap- Polisie
Misdaadvoorkomingsaksieplan wat gedurende April tot Junie 1998 geïmplementeer was,
word bespreek - die invloed wat dié strategie op die aanmelding van poging tot moord
gehad het, word statisties ontleed.
Ten slotte word die bevindings van die navorsing weergegee en aanbevelings word
gemaak om misdaad suksesvol te voorkom.

An evaluation of the impact of community participation and multi-organisational partnerships on the implementation of sector policing in the rural areas of the Limpopo ProvinceBaloyi, Nyiketani Jackson 03 1900 (has links)
Thesis (MPA)--Stellenbosch University, 2013. / ENGLISH ABSTRACT: Sector Policing is understood to be a relatively new community-based policing approach that finds its initial mandate in the National Instruction 3 of 2009, of the South African Police Service (SAPS). This said National Instruction states that community participation and partnership policing can be promoted through Sector Policing. The mandate for the implementation of the principle of Sector Policing also flows from section 205 (3) of the Constitution of the Republic of South Africa.
The significant part of this study is that it provoked an interest in Sector Policing, both within the SAPS and the community; and it attracted a large number of participants. The IAP2 Public Participation Model regarding community participation as discussed by Theron, Ceaser and Davids (2007:8), adapted from the International Association for Public Participation (2007) can play an important role in the implementation of Sector Policing. Sector Policing has been found to fail where there is no community participation or multi-organisational partnerships.
The study focused on the Limpopo Province in order to encourage the effective implementation of Sector Policing in rural areas. The study targeted twelve (12) stations out of ninety five (95) police stations found in all the five (5) districts of the Limpopo Province in order to cover a wider policing spectrum, and ensure a representative sample.
The study has found that Sector Policing could be better implemented if the project management approach can be adopted in order to carry out work in terms of timeframes, and ensure monitoring as demonstrated in Chapter 5 (Figure 5.2). The study recommended the introduction of implementation teams to oversee the implementation of Sector Policing at provincial, cluster and station levels. A quarterly multi-organisational forum has been proposed to ensure sustainable community participation. Community participation in policing is entrenched in sections 18 to 23 of the South African Police Service Act, 1995 (Act 68 of 1995), the White Paper on Safety and Security (1998) and the National Crime Prevention Strategy (1996).
The most recent community participation model, especially category C (levels 7-9), which is positioned to empower the community as “the influencer, director, controller and owner” of both decision-making processes is also recommended as a vehicle for effective community participation in Sector Policing (Gwala Participation Model). Monitoring, evaluation and feedback have been identified as effective tools to ensure the effective implementation of Sector Policing, which is currently lacking. / AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Sektorpolisiëring blyk ‘n relatief nuwe gemeenskapsgebaseerde polisiebenadering te wees wat sy aanvanklike mandaat in Nasionale Instruksie 3 van 2009 van die Suid-Afrikaanse Polisiediens (SAPD) vind. Die vermelde nasionale instruksie stel dit duidelik dat gemeenskapsdeelname en vennootskapspolisiëring deur Sektorpolisiëring bevorder kan word. Die mandaat vir die implementering van die beginsel van Sektorpolisiëring spruit ook uit onderafdeling 205 (3) van die Grondwet van die Republiek van Suid-Afrika (1996).
Die beduidende deel van hierdie studie is dat dit belangstelling in Sektorpolisiëring ontlok het, beide binne die SAPD en die gemeenskap, en dit het ook ‘n groot aantal deelnemers gelok. Die IAP2 openbare deelnamemodel met betrekking tot gemeenskapsdeelname, soos bespreek deur Theron, Ceaser en Davids (2007:8), wat van die Internasionale Vereniging rakende Openbare Deelname (2006) aangepas is, kan ‘n belangrike rol vertolk in die implementering van Sektorpolisiëring. Daar is bevind dat Sektorpolisiëring ‘n mislukking blyk te wees wanneer gemeenskapsdeelname of multi-organisatoriese vennootskappe afwesig is.
Die studie is gerig op die Limpopo Provinsie ten einde die doeltreffende implementering van Sektorpolisiëring in plattelandse gebiede aan te moedig. Die studie het gesentreer op twaalf (12) polisiestasies uit die vyf en negentig (95) wat in die vyf (5) distrikte van die Limpopo Provinsie bestaan ten einde ‘n breër polisiëringspektrum te dek en om ‘n verteenwoordigende monster te verseker. Die studie het bevind dat Sektorpolisiëring beter geïmplementeer sou kon word indien die projekbestuurbenadering toegepas word, so dat werk in terme van tydsraamwerke uitgevoer kan word, en monitering te kan verseker soos in Hoofstuk 5 (Figuur 5.2) gedemonstreer is. Die studie het die aanbeveling gedoen dat implementeringspanne ingestel word om toesig te hou oor die implementering van Sektorpolisiëring op provinsiale, groep- en stasievlak.
‘n Kwartaallikse multi-organisatoriese forum is voorgestel om volhoubare gemeenskapsdeelname te verseker. Gemeenskapsdeelname in polisiëring is verskans in onderafdelings 18 tot 23 van die Suid Afrikaanse Polisiedienswet, 1995 (Wet 68 van 1995), die Witskrif oor Veiligheid en Sekuriteit (1998) en die Nasionale Misdaadvoorkomingstrategie (1996).
Die mees onlangse gemeenskapsdeelnamemodel, veral kategorie C (vlakke 7-9 ) wat geposisioneer is om die gemeenskap te bemagtig as “die beinvloeder, direkteur, beheerder en eienaar” van besluitnemingsprosesse, word ook as ‘n middel vir doeltreffende deelname aan Sektorpolisiering aanbeveel (Gwala deelnamemodel). Monitering, evaluering en terugvoer is geidentifiseer as doeltreffende wyses om die effektiewe implementering van Sektorpolisiering te verseker, en dat dit juis die` is wat op die’ oomblik ontbreek.
