The book examines the effectiveness of the criminal justice system in South Africa, arguing that solely investing in law enforcement is insufficient for crime prevention. It develops an interdisciplinary theory incorporating economic, sociological, and political factors, revealing that variables such as education and poverty alleviation play crucial roles in reducing crime rates. Statistical analyses demonstrate that simply increasing police numbers does not enhance crime control; instead, improving competency and focusing on education are essential for achieving long-term crime reduction.
