Includes bibliographical references. / All over the world, state police are but one actor within a hybrid policing field involved in the provision of security. Civil society can legitimately come together in either self-help schemes or by means of buying security to deal with feelings of insecurity. An area can therefore be subject to plural policing. This paper is an audit of security interventions implemented to protect learners enrolled at Westbank High School. Westbank High School is a high-risk school. Learners in schools suffer a double-blow because not only do they suffer from crime within the school walls but also outside the school walls. Two general questions emerge in this situation. The first being, what is being done by state and non-state actors about the problem of crime in and around schools? Secondly, how are school children being supported and protected against criminal activity in their respective schools?
