Once a marginal political issue, crime control now occupies a
central place on the social, political and economic agenda of
contemporary liberal democracies. Nowhere more so than in
post-apartheid South Africa, where the transition from apartheid
rule to democratic rule was marked by a shift in concern from
political to criminal violence.In this book, Anne-Marie Singh
offers a comprehensive account of policing transformations in
post-apartheid South Africa. Her analysis of crime and mechanisms
for its control is linked to an analysis of neo-liberal policies,
providing the basis for a critique of existing analyses of liberal
democratic governance. Themes addressed in the book include the
exercise of coercive authority, state and non-state expertise in
policing, the 'rationally-choosing' criminal, and the importance of
developing an active and responsible citizenship.
