在今天的南非，社区警务更多的是一个被谈论的概念，而不是实际发生的实践。尽管许多立法都指出需要人民参与，但人们对如何做到这一点的理解有限。本研究说明的重点是正在制定的一项进程，该进程可能提供一种这样的方法，以协助警方开展伙伴关系警务工作。社区参与式行动规划过程和实践在预防犯罪领域的应用是由城市研究人员发起的，并导致了这里描述的模型的发展。初步结果表明，这一过程使人们明白，犯罪不是随机发生的，而是发生在特定的、可预测的地方。这一进程有能力使社区与警察共同行动，以预防和减少暴力犯罪。
Community policing remains more a talked-about concept than a practice actually taking place in South Africa today. In spite of much legislation pointing to the need for people's participation, there is limited understanding of how this should be done. The emphasis in this research note is on a process that is being developed that might provide one such methodology to assist the police in its approach to partnership policing. The application of community participatory action planning processes and practices to the crime prevention field was initiated by urban researchers, and resulted in the development of the model described here. Initial results indicate that the process allows people to understand that crime does not occur randomly but that it happens in certain and predictable places. The process has the ability to empower communities to act together with the police in order to prevent and reduce violent crime.
