The legal history of in-transit robberyCoetzer, André Lodewyk January 2007 (has links)
The crime of in-transit robbery is a sub-specie of the common law crime of robbery, which in essence is a crime of theft with violence. Robbery had evolved from begging, where beggars would harass their victims for money or items of value and then elevating their begging efforts to threats of violence, and in certain instances the usage of physical violence to solicit alms. As soon as road transport became prominent in society, the incidence of in-transit robbery increased where violence was used to overcome any form of resistance from the victim. During sea-faring transportation, piracy occurred using similar methods of violence to obtain goods from victims. In-transit robbery has undergone many changes in terms of modus operandi. From the early days of violent begging during the Roman Empire it has now become a greed driven, carefully planned crime, which is executed with military precision with high technology weapons of war. Robbery has advanced in judicial terms from a non-codified crime to a specific defined crime which carries prescribed minimum sentencing as punishment. / Abstract

Canonical correlation analysis of aggravated robbery and poverty in Limpopo ProvinceRwizi, Tandanai 05 1900 (has links)
The study was aimed at exploring the relationship between poverty and aggravated
robbery in Limpopo Province. Sampled secondary data of aggravated robbery of-
fenders, obtained from the South African Police (SAPS), Polokwane, was used in the
analysis. From empirical researches on poverty and crime, there are some deductions
that vulnerability to crime is increased by poverty. Poverty set was categorised by
gender, employment status, marital status, race, age and educational attainment.
Variables for aggravated robbery were house robbery, bank robbery, street/common
robbery, carjacking, truck hijacking, cash-in-transit and business robbery. Canonical
correlation analysis was used to make some inferences about the relationship of these
two sets. The results revealed a signi cant positive correlation of 0.219(p-value =
0.025) between poverty and aggravated robbery at ve per cent signi cance level. Of
the thirteen variables entered into the poverty-aggravated model, ve emerged as sta-
tistically signi cant. These were gender, marital status, employment status, common robbery and business robbery. / Mathematical Sciences / M. Sc. (Statistics)

An analysis of information in South African electronic newspaper articles on cash-in-transit robberies as a source of intelligenceNemutshili, Tshianzi 01 1900 (has links)
The escalating number of cash-in-transit robberies in South Africa is of major concern and this requires information in South African electronic newspaper articles as a source of intelligence. The aim of this study is to determine if newspaper articles on Cash-in-transit robbery can be a source of intelligence.
The researcher identified sources which can be used for data collection that could be turned into intelligence. Electronic newspaper articles were explored and turned into informative documents in terms of information that can be gathered about cash-in-transit robberies. The researcher discussed the available sources of intelligence and intelligence that can be gathered through newspaper articles.
The researcher conducted the study with the purpose of exploring, describing, and empowering. Exploring existing method used to gather intelligence on crime and CIT robberies, exploring and the topic under investigation the by consulting national and international sources and local newspaper articles, in order to obtain new knowledge on the problem, exploring if newspaper articles could provide intelligence on CIT robberies, by examining existing literature to gather information about the sources of intelligence.
Furthermore, the researcher also wanted to describe how newspaper articles can be used in the investigation of CIT robberies. Lastly, to ensure that this research is made available to other researchers who have an interest in exploring the sources of information and the crime intelligence-gathering process.
To accomplish this, the researcher examined national and international literature found in textbooks, research articles; master’s dissertations and PhD theses; newspaper articles (online); and searched the internet with the intention of finding data that could answer the research questions. / Police Practice / M.A. (Criminal Justice)

Jewellery store robbery: a victim risk and intervention perspectiveZannoni, Elio 30 April 2008 (has links)
The exploratory study investigated jewellery store robbery from a victim risk and intervention perspective. An explanation of the phenomenon was offered based on the information obtained from a review of the existing literature, case studies, personal observations at jewellery stores, discussions with jewellers, a scientific questionnaire submitted to jewellers, and semi-structured and structured interviews conducted with a group of knowledgeable respondents and victimised jewellers respectively. A predominantly quantitative research method was applied.
The research findings obtained during the study enabled a proposal for a jewellery store robbery intervention model based on the situational crime prevention perspective, which is inclusive of decisional, environmental, situational, procedural, personnel and business-oriented strategies. / Criminology / M.A. (Criminology)

An examination of the impact of residential security measures on the incidence of residential burglary in two selected northern suburbs of Johannesburg: a security risk management approachOlckers, Casparus 30 June 2007 (has links)
Motivation
This project was of specific importance to the private security industry, victims of residential burglary, community policing forums and the South African Police Service in providing detailed information regarding recommendations of how to manage and combat residential burglary in two selected northern suburbs of Johannesburg.
Problem statement
Residential burglary is categorised in the top three highest reported crimes according to the official South African Police Service statistics for the 2006/7 financial years.
A series of victim interviews, docket analysis, case plotting and residential security audit surveys were conducted to determine the extent (or lack thereof) of security measures at a burgled residence in the selected area.
Approach
Field data was collected through docket analysis, plotting crime scenes (descriptive mapping), victim interviews and residential security audit surveys.
Results
The majority of victims of burglary interviewed did not have the minimum security system (integrated measures) in place. Those victims, who had security measures, appeared not to have made or implemented effective use of them.
Conclusion
Security at a residence extends beyond just the immediate house area and the focus (security risk assessment) should start with the immediate neighbourhood (community) area working inwards towards the property perimeter (boundary), inner perimeter (garden area) and then finally the immediate house area. / CRIMINOLOGY / MTECH: SECURITY RISK MAN

Prevention of theft of official vehicles of the South African National Defence Force (SANDF) in the Gauteng ProvinceMathebula, Esewu Mxolisi 29 September 2014 (has links)
The South African National Defence Force (SANDF) was formed in 1994 after the
integration of different “defence forces” into one large force. The sole existence of the
SANDF is to protect the borders of the Republic of South Africa and its inhabitants.
Resources such as vehicles make it easier for the SANDF to conduct mobile patrols
and other operations to ensure that the organisation is always combat-ready.
Motor vehicle theft is a crime that affects both individual citizens and organisations in
South Africa; the SANDF is not immune to the crime. Many SANDF motor vehicles are
stolen almost every day, and in most cases, these vehicles are taken without a trace.
While there are security measures in place aimed at preventing theft of SANDF
vehicles but these methods have proven futile.
A literature review formed the basis of the study. Once the main theory and ideologies
were identified, unstructured interviews were undertaken to gather information from
various stakeholders. Observations were also conducted to determine behavioural
patterns within military bases/units with regard to the parking of SANDF vehicles, even
when the vehicles were parked in urban settings. Essentially, there is a problem
regarding the security of SANDF vehicles and also the security within military bases /
units. This study indicated that the SANDF loses vast amounts of money due to motor
vehicle theft in Gauteng Province. The findings also revealed that the current vehicle
security measures are outdated, ineffective and inadequate in preventing SANDF
vehicles from being stolen.
The recommendations are that the SANDF must invest more of its budget on vehicle
security, rather than continuing with fruitless and monetary expenditure by conducting
Board of Inquiries (BOI) or lengthy investigations in an attempt to relocate stolen
vehicles or to determine how a particular vehicle was stolen. The SANDF requires a
comprehensive system that should prevent the theft of its vehicles, as well as curbing
the misuse of vehicles which ultimately renders SANDF vehicles as easy targets. / Police Practice / M. Tech. (Policing)
