| Publisher Description: Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Crime is a prominent issue in South Africa. South Africa has a high rate of murders, assaults, rapes, and other crimes compared to most countries. Many emigrants from South Africa state that crime was a big factor in their decision to leave. A survey for the period 1998-2000 compiled by the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime ranked South Africa second for assault and murder (by all means) per capita and first for rapes per capita in a data set of 60 countries. The book looks at the various forms of social and financial crimes prevalent in South Africa.
