A crime 'hotspot' in Galeshewe
During 2010 the Centre for Justice and Crime Prevention (CJCP) conducted a victimisation survey in Galeshewe. The analysis found that social capital activities such as sports may have unintended effects and service delivery may have no crime prevention effects at the individual level at all. Indeed the qualitative evidence suggests ‘obvious’ solutions may be part of the problem. This paper was presented at a conference in Sandton in December 2010.
