Never any mention of the pre- and post-Apartheid crime rates.

I wonder why? </sarcasm>

Do you justify racial oppresion for a perceived sense of security???

I would have to concur. Not making any commentary on the political aspect of apartheid. However, the powers of the police have been severely restricted by the recent South African leaders. This is in response to the heavy handed tactics used by the police during Apartheid.

Unfortunately, they went too far. Stripping the police of the powere and freedom to perform their job proficiently. Eventually they will find the right mix of police authority.

Additionally, while there is much black on white crime, giving support to many of the white supremecist factions in the country. The significant, and often undocumented, criminal activity is black on black. The murder rate is astonishingly high and often the murders are related to nothing more then some trivial matter. Sad really.
