Justice Gained? Crime and Crime Control in South Africa's Transition

Key questions in contemporary South African criminology are examined in these essays, including Why is crime such a persistent problem? and How have crime control practices altered in response to the challenges of the post-apartheid era'. Teachers, researchers, policy advisors, and practitioners challenge some of the received wisdom re-emerging in a discipline in danger of both forgetting its own history, and of misunderstanding the role of critical social science in a democratic South Africa.Dixon, Bill is the author of 'Justice Gained?
