The security governance of South Africa has faced immense
challenges amid post-apartheid constitutional and political
transformations. In many cases, policing and governmental
organizations have failed to provide security and other services to
the poorest inhabitants. Security Governance, Policing, and Local
Capacity explores an experiment that took place in
Zwelethemba-located in South Africa's Western Cape Province-to
establish legitimate and effective nonstate security governance
within poor urban settlements. There has been, and continues to be,
much reticence to endorsing private forms of security governance
that operate outside of state institutions within local
communities. Those initiatives have often led to situations where
force is used illegally and punishment is dispensed arbitrarily and
brutally. This book explores the extent to which this model of
mobilizing local knowledge and capacity was able to effectively
achieve justice, democracy, accountability, and development in this
region. Whenever possible, the book includes raw data and a
thorough analysis of existing information on security governance.
Examining this case and its outcome, the authors provide a
theoretical analysis of the model used and present a series of
design principles for future applications in local security
governance. The book concludes that poor communities are a
significant source of untapped resources that can, under certain
conditions, be mobilized to significantly enhance safety. This
volume is an important examination of experimental models and a
presentation of new groundbreaking theory on engaging the local
community in solving security governance problems.
