Ryan Carrier (1999), reflecting on policing in South Africa, has pointed out that there may be different types of order that are not necessarily mutually exclusive: he argues that the type of order that the state seeks to guarantee may be different from the type of order that businesses, affluent suburbs, townships and corporations wish to establish or preserve. He concludes by saying that diff...

Do they just turn a blind eye? And what can be done about it?

To come to terms with crime and violence in South Africa, we must get behind the masks of both the criminal and society itself - the hidden social processes that give rise to crime and violence. We must be proactive to prevent crime and violence before it occurs. Crime is embedded in the social structure, in the disintegration of families and communities, in the breakdown of authority and socia...

How communities respond to families and communities affected by HIV and AIDS plays a critical role in averting destitution and crises to cushion children from the worst impacts of the epidemic. However, community initiatives face a number of challenges too.

In the past conservation management was relatively simple. A fence was erected around reserves and animals and plants were managed within the fenced areas. By the 1980's there was a worldwide call for greater community involvement in conservation management. Results of investigations are considered in relation to different models for benefit between reserves and communities.
