"(A) cogent and well-informed discussion of the South African PoliceService and the organisational problems it faces." -- StephenEllis Since the mid-1990s, South Africa has experienced a crimewave of such unprecedented proportions that the ability of the new democracy to forma stable civil society and govern effectively has been called into question. In thistimely book, Mark Shaw describes how a police force that was so effective underapartheid became so ineffectual in the face of rising crime. He shows how anincrease in violent crime shapes society, police, and government, and discussespossible solutions for the current crisis. International crimes such as war, terrorism, and organized crime are explored along with crimes that affect individualsecurity, such as armed robbery, murder, and rape. Crime and Policing inPost-Apartheid South Africa draws attention to both the national and theinternational dimensions of crime in this society in transition.
