The impact of police corruption on service delivery in Pretoria Central

This study sought to measure the perceptions of the community on the prevalence of police corruption and its impact on service delivery in the Pretoria Central area.
Using a literature review and 25 in-depth unstructured interviews, the study found that the majority of community members regard most police officials as corrupt. A lack of understanding on the part of the police of the negative impact that actual or perceived police corruption has on sound police-community relations was evident. Recruitment without proper vetting of the workforce emerged as one of the causal factors for corruption.
The study provides several recommendations for the enhancement of the South African Police Serviceā€Ÿs systems to militate against incidents of corruption and its impact on police service delivery. / Police Practice / M. Tech. (Policing)
