Statistics South Africa logo
Statistics South Africa has released the Victims of crime survey, 2013/14. Some of the key findings were that four in ten of households in South Africa believed that the level of both violent and non-violent crime had increased in their areas of residence during the period 2010 to 2013; more than a third of households avoided going to open spaces unaccompanied because of their fear of crime; and about 75% of households thought that criminals were more likely to be motivated by drug-related needs.
