A pro-active approach to curb asset theft at a South African mine

The South African mining industry has not been shielded from the criminal threat the
country faces. In this case study, the nature and extent of asset theft at one of the
largest mining companies in South Africa is analysed. The crime prevention strategy
adopted by the mine to curb asset theft was studied over a period of five years. This
involved a survey of the views of the security managers on the effectiveness of the
strategy implemented by the mine. Against the background of the South African
Government’s broad description of the crime prevention approach adopted by the
country, the researcher explored whether it would be practicable to implement an
integrated crime prevention strategy – encompassing situational, social and law
enforcement crime prevention approaches on primary, secondary and tertiary level – at
the participating mine in order to curb asset theft. / Police Practice / M. Tech. (Policing)
