Thesis (MTech. degree in Policing.)--Tshwane University of Technology, 2012. / The Constitution of the Republic of South Africa (Act 108 of 1996), prescribe Community policing as the style of policing to be adopted by the South African Police Service to meet the safety and security requirements of all people in the country. Fundamental transformation is therefore needed to ensure that the South African Police Service develops into a community-oriented police service which adopts a consultative approach to meeting the safety and security needs of the communities it serves, a service which therefore becomes more accessible and acceptable and more efficient and effective. Based on the philosophy of the establishment of community policing approach in South Africa and the time lag, one wonders if the cardinal objective has been met in terms of crime prevention, especially community and neighbourhood based ones as crime rate in South Africa appears to be on the increase. This study therefore investigated the impact of community policing approach on crime prevention in Eldorado Park Policing Area, specifically, the successes, failure and challenges facing community policing in the area where interrogated.

This thesis presents information on community healthy marriage initiatives and university-community collaborations. Specifically, it examined the workings of one of those healthy marriage initiatives in the university-community collaborative context. The project explored the current process of this initiative, identifying specific challenge points and defining factors and characteristics associated with the success thereof. Rather than working in discrete categories, these challenge points exist on a success continuum. How each challenge is managed determines whether it is a success factor or a stumbling block. The project is grounded in published learning from other university-community initiatives and employs an ethnographic qualitative research strategy. Data consist of interviews with several key collaborators (n = 9) who were involved with this initiative. The findings from this ethnography support and enhance previous literature on university-community collaborations and outreach scholarship and provide useful examples and lessons that can be used by other university-community collaborations, especially those involving marriage education initiatives in a community setting.
