Book Description:

Despite the release of Nelson Mandela and President De Klerk's determined adherence to a policy of reform, South Africa still relies heavily on a system of crime and state control that dismays commentators and academics in South Africa and abroad. Considering topics ranging from the history of the South African police to vigilantism in the townships, this radical study examines the abuses of justice and proposes practical courses of action to improve the situation.
