Holistic approach to criminal justice system is needed to effectively combat crime
16 November 2023
A holistic approach to the entire criminal justice system should be followed in an attempt to effectively combat crime, particularly organised crime.
At this stage, the criminal justice system consisting of the South African Police Service, Correctional Services and the Department of Justice is failing the people of South Africa miserably.
Corruption has infiltrated these organs to such an extent that crime can no longer be effectively combated.
It is well-known that crime bosses continue to orchestrate activities from their prison cells, especially when it comes to organised crime. And when it comes to the courts, dockets going missing is not a strange phenomenon.
