This Blog consist in 2 Different parts that would be published over a period of time. Part one will be the stats obtained from the internet with regards to South Africa. Part 2 will be the analysis and discussion of the stats. It is also been mentioned that in South Africa with a much less population one would have that 31.8 people out of 100 000 was murdered in 2013 Whereby 4.8 out of 100 000 people would have been murdered in U.S.A In the United Kingdom 1.2 people out of 100 000 were murdered.
My next blog on the crime stats would bring this in context and we will look at possible causes of the high crime rate and also what solutions may have an impact on the crime. One cannot deny that most of the South Africans is VIOLENT in nature and also the fact that Government do not address the issue in a matter to prevent it. I am not talking about more policeman and more safety orientated strategies. I am talking about Corrective procedures that would bring a sense of discipline. Here we are looking at laws and the justice system as well as correctional systems. This would how ever be discussed in the next article but first the Stats.
Any discussion and comments can be directed to e mail helpmehelpother@gmail.com
