SEMINAR: SECTOR POLICING
NEW EXPERIMENTS IN POLICING?
The beginning of the 1990’s saw a rise in police reform around the
world. South African police reformists and the SAPS sought out innovative ways
to develop a unique South African model in order to address some of the country’s
historical policing problems, as well as the rise in crime. A new style of
policing - which builds on the community policing philosophy – was introduced.
This model became known as sector policing. This new approach to policing in
South Africa is still in its early stages of development. It brings with it
various benefits and challenges, and this seminar will highlight these issues,
drawing on international models for comparison.
Speakers:
Janine Rauch: Research consultant and co-author
of the monograph on sector policing will discuss the origins and development
of sector policing in South Africa
Dr William Dixon: Criminology lecturer at Keele University
in London, as well as co-author of the sector policing monograph, will highlight
the London experience of implementing sector policing.
Commissioner Machabi: Area Commissioner
of the West Rand will speak on the West Rand experience of sector policing.
This seminar will also be used to launch the book `Justice Gained?
Crimeand Control in South Africa`s
Transition` edited by Bill Dixon and Elrena van der Spuy. The
essays in the book deal with a wide range of issues from policing to crime
social crime prevention and prison overcrowding, and from domestic violence
to organised crime and youth justice.
