FREEMAN, Laura  e  MCDONALD, Claire. Mapping Khayelitsha: The complexities of everyday policing in a high crime area. SA crime q. [online]. 2015, n.53, pp.27-37. ISSN 2413-3108.  http://dx.doi.org/10.4314/SACQ.V53I1.3.

In order for a single South African police station to operate optimally, or indeed at any level of functionality at all, it is required to form cooperative relations with a host of external institutions. This is in addition to ensuring that the internal structural capacity of a police station is maintained. The Commission of Inquiry into Allegations of Police Inefficiency and a Breakdown in Relations between SAPS and the Community in Khayelitsha identified shortcomings in both internal structures and the functioning of external relations. Here, we provide an overview of the stakeholders that make up the policing web in Khayelitsha. This forms the basis for clearer understandings of on-the-ground policing in this unsafe and violent neighbourhood.
