Abstract

Waving placards that read “Sonele zizikoli, sanele yicrime (we have had enough of crime and thugs),” more than 60 angry residents protested outside the Khayelitsha Police Station on Tuesday. [ . . . ] Residents’ leader Unathi Mabengwana said: “Given the high crime rate in our area, we are of the view that whatever cops do to fight crime here is not enough. We demand that cops should be more harsh when dealing with criminals.” Greg Wagner, spokesman for community safety department said [Member of the Executive Council] Dan Plato will meet with the Western Cape police commissioner, General Arno Lamoer, to discuss the issue next week. Wagner said the meeting would also be a follow up on the recent vigilante attacks, in which three alleged crime suspects were burnt to death at Enkanini squatter camp (Mnyakama 2012).
卡耶利沙的暴力与民主:通过“社区”治理犯罪
周二,60多名愤怒的居民在卡耶利沙警察局外抗议,他们挥舞着写有“我们受够了犯罪和暴徒”的标语牌。[…]居民领袖Unathi Mabengwana说:“鉴于我们地区的高犯罪率,我们认为无论警察做什么来打击犯罪都是不够的。”我们要求警察在对付罪犯时更加严厉。”社区安全部门发言人格雷格·瓦格纳(Greg Wagner)说,(行政会议成员)丹·柏拉图(Dan Plato)将于下周与西开普省警察局长阿诺·拉莫尔(Arno Lamoer)将军会面,讨论这个问题。瓦格纳说,这次会议也将是对最近义警袭击的后续行动,在这次袭击中,三名涉嫌犯罪的嫌疑人在Enkanini棚户区被烧死(Mnyakama 2012)。

期刊介绍: Stability: International Journal of Security & Development is a fundamentally new kind of journal. Open-access, it publishes research quickly and free of charge in order to have a maximal impact upon policy and practice communities. It fills a crucial niche. Despite the allocation of significant policy attention and financial resources to a perceived relationship between development assistance, security and stability, a solid evidence base is still lacking. Research in this area, while growing rapidly, is scattered across journals focused upon broader topics such as international development, international relations and security studies. Accordingly, Stability''s objective is to: Foster an accessible and rigorous evidence base, clearly communicated and widely disseminated, to guide future thinking, policymaking and practice concerning communities and states experiencing widespread violence and conflict. The journal will accept submissions from a wide variety of disciplines, including development studies, international relations, politics, economics, anthropology, sociology, psychology and history, among others. In addition to focusing upon large-scale armed conflict and insurgencies, Stability will address the challenge posed by local and regional violence within ostensibly stable settings such as Mexico, Brazil, Russia, India, Indonesia and elsewhere.
