This report describes a project led by the Institute for Security Studies (ISS) to develop crime reduction strategies for two South African local governments, Highveld East and Uitenhage, following the 1998 White Paper on Safety. The project utilized community safety audits to identify priority crimes and resource gaps, revealing a stark divide between townships and suburbs in terms of crime types and police presence. While the project faced challenges due to political imperatives, local government restructuring, and a lack of national support, it concluded that municipalities are better suited for incremental participation in crime prevention rather than the supervisory and coordinating roles originally envisioned by national policy.
