Violent crime in South Africa is out of control, with the South African Police Service’s latest statistics indicating that there are 86 murders and 136 (reported) rapes every single day. The prosecution rate for these offences is unacceptably low, and South Africa’s prisons are overfull.

Martin van Staden, FMF Head of Policy and Zakhele Mthembu, FMF Policy Officer, highlight the government's failure to allocate sufficient resources to tackle violent crime while simultaneously expanding criminal law to include activities that should not be deemed criminal.
