The current hot topic - Crime Stats

[Jongi]

Where could I access pre-1994 crime stats?

pre-94 stats were not released, and even if they were they would be wholly unreliable as they would only take into account a small percentage of the population

xtermin8or. That is BS! The SAP did keep track of the crime stats and it did include all of SA including townships. Police stations sent it through on a daily basis and it was used for propper planning of anti-crime actions in all crime hotspots. What makes me wonder where those crime stats are now. The apartheid government had no reason to destroy it!

Yeah the rest was not worth recording!
