n 2008, when the first edition of Organised Crime and Proceeds of Crime Law in South Africa was published, there were very few reported cases involving racketeering. The intervening time has seen more prosecutions for this crime and for other related crimes and consequently more relevant decisions have been given by our courts. In particular there are new judgments to consider on confiscation and forfeiture. In all, nearly a hundred new cases are referred to in this second edition. The commentary on corruption has been expanded because corruption is often a manifestation of racketeering.

Human trafficking is now the third largest industry in the world and is often committed by organised crime groups. The author has therefore included an outline of human trafficking. A brief discussion of police investigation and surveillance has been added as has a discussion on foreign restraint orders. Practical guidelines for the defence in racketeering prosecutions have also been included.

This book remains the only attempt to deal comprehensively with the Prevention of Organised Crime Act (POCA) and will continue to play a vital role in helping legal practitioners understand the complexities of the new concepts introduced by POCA.

Die sewende uitgawe van Deliktereg, wat gelyktydig met die Engelse weergawe hiervan verskyn, is in die geheel hersien en bygewerk in die lig van nuwe gesag en literatuur wat uit die aard van die saak soms 'n aanpassing van regsbeginsels of teoretiese standpunte meegebring het. In die besonder is aandag gegee aan die lewendige akademiese en regterlike debat wat sedert die vorige uitgawe oor die deliksbeginsels gevoer is, veral oor die verhouding tussen onreg­matigheid, nalatigheid en juridiese kousaliteit.

Children's rights are now enshrined in the South African constitution, and lip service is regularly paid to them, but how effectively are they implemented? From research undertaken by the Centre for Socio-Legal Research over the last twenty years, the question has increasingly arisen of how much use such rights are on paper if the systems charged with ensuring their implementation are inadequate for the task. Possibly even more important, it has become evident that it is not enough to make 'the best interests of the child' the touch-stone for legal and welfare decisions on children, if the individuals charged with those decisions have little training -- or ready access to expertise -- in child development or the realities of a fast-changing country of many cultures. Decisions that radically affect children's futures -- whether custody decisions on divorce, fostering, children's home, adoption placements, or juvenile court decisions -- have life-long consequences. But there is also little hard evidence of what is influencing such decisions in practice, nor how decision-making for South African children can be improved. This book is the result of an attempt to remedy some of these gaps. It presents the evidence from an interdisciplinary collaborative project set up to research how legal decisions on children are being made in the new South Africa, and how children's rights are faring in practice in a variety of relevant settings.

Law Of Persons, now in its sixth edition, has become a standard text on the South African law of persons. The book was first published in 1995, just after the dawn of South Africa’s first democratic dispensation. The book constitutes a general and fully referenced source on the law of persons, and reflects the transformation of the law of persons in line with the values entrenched in the Constitution of the Republic of South Africa, 1996, with specific reference to the Bill of Rights.

First-year students will derive the most benefit from Law of Persons if the book is used in conjunction with the Law of Persons Sourcebook.

South Africa’s history of colonialism and apartheid has created deep patterns of inequality and poverty. One of the ways in which the government has tried to address the high levels of inequality that characterise the South African labour market, is through an extensive process of legislative reform, which includes the Employment Equity Act (EEA) of 1998.

The EEA was enacted to achieve equity in the workplace by prohibiting unfair discrimination and by requiring the implementation of affirmative action measures to ensure the equitable representation of designated groups (blacks, women and disabled persons) in all occupational categories and levels in the workforce. The Act gives effect to the constitutional imperative for substantive equality in respect of the workplace.

One decade after the enactment of the EEA, this collection of essays evaluates its efficacy in achieving its stated goals. This is done against the background of comparative experiences elsewhere, in particular India, Canada, the United Kingdom, Germany and the European Union.

Hierdie is die vyfde uitgawe van die boek wat vir die eerste keer in 1992 as 'n relatief bondige teks, spesifiek gemik op studente in die erfreg, verskyn het. Die boek het egter deur sy opeenvolgende uitgawes tot 'n meer algemene bron vir die Suid-Afrikaanse erfreg ontwikkel. Tog is dit deur sy aanslag, aanbiedingswyse en sistematiek steeds ideaal om ook as handboek in erfregkursusse gebruik te word. Die huidige weergawe poog weereens om aan die leser 'n omvattende oorsig oor die verskillende fasette van die erfreg te gee, met inagneming van die jongste ontwikkelings wat hierdie regsgebied beinvloed het.

Hierdie nuwe bekendstelling behels 'n omvattende uiteensetting van die generieke vereistes gemeen aan alle vorderingsaksies gebaseer op ongegronde verrykingsreg en voeg daaraan toe die eiesoor tige aspekte wat in die regspraak vir spesifieke vorderings ontwikkel het. In elke onderafdeling word die toonaangewende uitsprake daarvoor afsonderlik belig en bespreek. Wat hierdie werk ook onmisbaar maak vir praktisyns is die insluiting van 'n deeglike trefwoordregister vir vinnige naslaandoeleindes.

While aimed at students, Criminal Procedure Handbook is increasingly being relied on by legal practitioners as a first port of call.

Available in English and Afrikaans, the revised and updated eleventh edition of this book introduces readers to the fundamental principles and values underlying this field of law and guides them systematically through the rules of procedure that apply in criminal cases.

A midwife is responsible for recording the progress of labour on a partograph or partogram. The partograph helps caregivers detect whether labour is progressing normally or not, indicates when augmentation of labour is appropriate and assists in recognising potential problems before they occur. Each title covers one important topic, and has been written by a specialist in that field. The series follows a consistent format and covers issues such as key ethical and legal considerations, relevant legislation, case studies, and practical applications. These concise, accessible texts will be suitable for accreditation when continuing professional development becomes a requirement

This publication addresses the legal aspects specifically relevant to police officials.

It states, interprets and applies the most general legal principles in the fields of criminal law and criminal procedure (mainly the pre-trial process), and some basic principles of the law of evidence. There is a constant emphasis on the influence of human rights on these fields of law, and especially on policing powers.

Academics, practitioners, justice and police officials collaborated in producing a book that is not only theoretically sound, but also of great practical value.

Occupational Safety and Health (OSH) in the workplace is not only a strategic priority in terms of moral or social responsibility, it is also an obligation regulated and governed by law. A well-designed manufacturing process (the operations system) must be both productive and safe, without potential physical, emotional and mental health risks. OSH management has become a very complex multi-functional science within operations management and total quality management (TQM). It focuses on a non-legalistic approach whereby the organisational culture fosters spontaneous OSH and a high quality of work life. This is done by using a TQM approach, based on a functional TQM model.

By the time this publication went to print it seemed that the world's financial and economic systems might be on the brink of 'going broke'. At the same time, the Occupy Wall Street (OWS) movement was going global. Thousands of mostly (yet not exclusively) young people were taking to the streets in the financial centres of countries across the globe, protesting and showing their disillusionment with the state of affairs in the world.
