An Exploratory Study of Crime Among High School Learners in Nzhelele East Circuit, Vhembe District, Limpopo ProvinceMathungeni, Recheal Nthangeni 18 May 2015 (has links)
MA (Youth in Development) / Institute for Gender and Youth Studies / High school crime has become a major problem all over the world including South Africa. The
aim of this study was to explore the nature, causes and effects of youth crime amongst learners in
high schools in Nzhelele East Circuit. Three high schools known for high crime rate were
purposefully selected. A mixed method approach was adopted. Focus groups were conducted
among the Life Orientation teachers in the selected schools to collect qualitative data, and
questionnaires were administered to learners to collect quantitative data. Purposive sampling was
used to sample Life Orientation teachers for the focus groups. Stratified random sampling was
used to survey 40 grade 10 and 40 grade 11 learners from each of the three high schools (240
learners). Qualitative data was analyzed thematically and the quantitative data was analyzed using
descriptive statistics methods. Consequently, the results from the two methods were compared and
triangulated. Ethical precautionary measures were taken to avoid harm to the research participants.
The study found that a variety of family, economic and environmental factors contribute to crime
in schools. Findings of this study assist the teachers, learners, parents and the Department of
Education authorities in the Vhembe District to gain a better understanding of the nature, causes
and effects of crime among high school learners. Only a multi-pronged strategy can be effective
in overcoming crime which is plaguing many high schools in South Africa. / NRF

Adult sentenced female economic offenders at the Kgosi Mampuru II female correctional centre (Gauteng) : a criminological assessment of fraudMostert, Werda 11 1900 (has links)
This qualitative case study research endeavour is a direct result of limited research on female fraud research in South Africa. The research questions that guided this research are: What are the different pathways and lived experiences of the females incarcerated for fraud?; What are the causes, contributory factors and motives of the sample-specific female fraud offenders? and Can the criminal behaviour of each female offender be explained by means of criminological theories?. Seven adult female offenders voluntarily participated in this research project and their unique narratives, pathways and lived experiences were depicted and analysed to determine the causes, contributory factors and motives related to their offending behaviour. Criminological theories and the gendered theory of female offending were applied to explain their fraud-related behaviours. The findings suggest that overlapping causes (i.e. lack of self-control), contributory factors (i.e. rationalisation of behaviour) and motives (i.e. greed) played a prominent role in the female offenders’ fraud-related behaviours. / Lolu cwaningo lwe-case study yengqikithi ngumphumela oqonde ngqo wocwaningo olufishane lwenkwabaniso eyenziwa ngabesimame eNingizimu Afrika. Imibuzo yocwaningo eyaba ngumkhombandlela walolu cwaningo yilena elandelayo: Ngabe yini imigudu nezipiliyoni zempilo abahlangabezana nayo abesimame ababoshelwe inkwabaniso?; Ngabe yini izimbangela zenkwabaniso, yini izinto ezinomthelela kanye nezinto ezigqugquzele abesimame abenza amacala enkwabaniso kulabo ababeyisampuli yabesimame abenza inkwabaniso? kanti futhi, Ngabe ukuziphatha kobugebengu kwabesimame abanamacala kungachazwa ngamathiyori emfundo ngobubegengu? Abesimame abayisikhombisa abanamacala enkwabaniso bangenela ucwaningo ngokuzithandela kuleprojekthi yocwaningo, kanti izipiliyoni zempilo yabo kwachazwa futhi kwahlaziyiwa ukuthola izimbangela, izinto ezibe nomthelela kanye nezinto ezigqugquzele ukuziphatha kwabo kobugebengu. Amathiyori emfundo ngobugebengu kanye namathiyori ngabesimame abenza amacala nawo asetshenziswa ukuchaza ukuziphatha kwabo kwenkwabaniso. Imiphumela yocwaningo ithole ukuxhumana kwezimbangela (isib. ukwehluleka ukuzilawula, ezinye izinto ezibe nomthelela (ukuzichaza impatho yabo ngezindlela ezithile), okubagqugquzelile (isib. umhobholo) konke lokhu kwaba nendima enkulu kwabesimame abenze amacala enkwabaniso nokuziphatha kwabo. / Patlisiso eno e e lebelelang mabaka mo kgetseng e e rileng ke ditlamorago ka tlhamalalo tsa dipatlisiso tse di lekanyeditsweng tsa patlisiso ya boferefere jo bo dirwang ke basadi mo Aforikaborwa.

African adult sentenced male foreign offenders within the North West province incarcerated at Losperfontein (Brits, South Africa) Correctional Centre : a criminological offender- and offence- specific assessmentMmutlane, Kagiso Godwill 02 1900 (has links)
The researcher conducted an in-depth analysis of the criminality and criminal behaviour of selected sample-specific, African, adult male Mozambican and Zimbabwean foreign offenders, incarcerated at South Africa’s Losperfontein Correctional Centre. The causes, contributory factors and motives of their crimes were determined, and their criminogenic needs and risks identified. The needs and risks of foreign offenders were found to differ from those of South African offenders significantly. To address criminogenic needs and risks of foreign offenders, and to enhance their self-development and rehabilitation, recommendations for each individual case study are made. / Boleng ka botlalo le tshetshereganyo ya thuto ya patlisiso ya boitsholo jwa bosenyi jwa monna wa mogodi wa Mozambique le basiamolodi ba boditshaba ba Zimbabwe ba ba golegilweng kwa Setheong sa Kgopololo sa Losperfontein mo Aforika Borwa (Brits, Porofense ya Bokone-Bophirima) e ne ya dirwa.
