Tracking developments in Western Cape gang dynamics.
This is the fifth issue of the Global Initiative Against Transnational Organized Crime’s Western Cape Gang Monitor , an output of our South Africa Organized Crime Observatory. This series of bulletins tracks developments in Western Cape gang dynamics each quarter, to provide a concise synthesis of relevant trends to inform policymakers and civil society. The monitor draws on information provided by field researchers working in gang-affected communities of the Western Cape. This includes interviews with current and former gang members, civil society, and members of the criminal justice system.
