In the early 1990s she worked at the Centre for the Study of Violence and Reconciliation in Johannesburg, facilitating relationshipbuilding partnerships between police and communities in various parts of the country, and conducted groundbreaking research on police training. After 1994, she was appointed as an adviser to the Minister of Safety & Security, and in 1996 was appointed Chief Director of Policy in the National Department of Safety & Security, where one of her tasks was to coordinate the development of the country's National Crime Prevention Strategy. Since 2003, Janine has worked as an independent consultant, advising a variety of government and donor agencies on crime reduction and security sector reform strategies in Southern Africa and elsewhere. Her recent areas of research are urban renewal, sector policing and the impact of South Africa's Truth and Reconciliation Commission on the police. She is currently managing a global research project on police accountability for the Commonwealth Human Rights Initiative, based in New Delhi, India.

The moral regeneration initiative is one response to this crisis, emerging in parallel to countless other initiatives aimed at reducing crime, some of which have themselves contained explicit appeals to morals, values or ethics. A review of its origins and development shows that the moral regeneration initiative has suffered from a lack of clarity about both its mission and its strategy. The movement's attempts to build meaningful civil society participation in the campaign have also been a key challenge.

A variety of donors and multilateral agencies led the discussions on police reform and shaped the policy approach to the reform, with extremely weak participation from the government of the Democratic Republic of Congo.

There is also no clear conceptualisation of what constitutes a gang, with writers sometimes treating a whole range of collective behaviours as the same phenomenon. 1 Writers also refer to different types of gangs without always specifying how they are similar to or different from one another. 2 Further, despite an emerging body of work on African gangs, 3 media and public attention remains focused on coloured gangs in the Western Cape. Additionally, apart from Glaser's work on tsotsi 4 gangs (1990), writers on African gangs have focused even less on women gang members than their counterparts writing on Western Cape gangs. Inevitably then, information in this article is mainly about coloured Western Cape gangs. 5 Female gangsters are disrespected by male gangsters, researchers and police Although the number of women drawn into gangs is increasing, they wield no power … Female gangsters have very little respect for anybody and seldom get respect from others. (NICRO and the Institute of Criminology 1990:6) Unless featured in magazine articles, 6 the voices and experiences of women gang members are absent from writing on gangs. While some may highlight gender or women, this is typically confined to discussing the relationship between masculinity and gangs (discussions that are rarely comprehensive or rigorous) or to referring to women in their more traditional roles, including: The victim. 7 This role emphasises the numerous ways in which women are abused and exploited, either through rape and other forms of sexual assault, or in the violent relationships they are frequently coerced into by male gang members. The status-seeking and/or showpiece girlfriend. 8 Status seekers are said to gain prestige from being a gangster's girlfriend as well as a better standard of living. It has been suggested that women's materialistic demands and expectations of their boyfriends may be playing a part in young men's criminal activities (Segal, Pelo and Rampa 1999). 9 Showpieces-attractive girlfriends desired by many other men-confirm a gang member's

It outlines the priorities of the criminal justice agencies in South Africa by describing recent national government policy and budget allocations. It also examines new developments, such the business-supported 'integrated justice system' initiative, the establishment of the National Drug Authority, and the Metropolitan Police Departments established in leading South African cities. The paper is based on research conducted for the UK Department for International Development in South Africa early in 2001 and presents perhaps the most comprehensive picture of activity in the safety, security and access to justice sector currently available in South Africa.

This will require changing their habitual practices and their traditional patterns of conflict/competitiveness and financial mismanagement. Increasing donor interest in civil society participation in security and justice reforms opens new opportunities for CSOs to enter these previously closed domains of work, and there is enormous potential for them to develop capacities in research, monitoring, advocacy, public education and in partnership with the state security and justice system. Key CSOs and networks that DFID may be able to work with directly There are no strong and inclusive networks in the security and justice sector. Instead, there are a handful of networks with differing memberships, scope and political affiliations. This means that it is not simply a case of identifying one or two key networks as partners to support-instead there is a need to support a larger number of networks simultaneously, whilst encouraging them to collaborate and improve their relationships with each other. This is often best done at local and provincial level, where there are real grassroots-based organisations who are accustomed to working together. Depending on priorities, the following CSO networks could feasibly be supported by DFID and other donors:  Provincial human rights NGO networks;  Provincial 'synergies' of organisations working on SGBV;  National SSR network of CSOs (Reseau de la Reforme du Secteur Securitaire) ;  Network on Women, Gender and Security. Programme suggestions as how to best support Southern security and justice CSO capacity The new DFID SSAPRP is likely to fund individual CSOs for activities related to accountability, but only in the three pilot provinces. This will create enormous pressure to fund similar work or even to organise a further roll out. One of the most difficult ideas to lobby for in the DRC is the idea of a 'network' of activists in security and justice reform (broadly phrased) to share experiences, document their findings and inform decision-makers. 14 An assessment of the linkages and coordination, if any, between those organisations working within and across the security and justice fields Linkages and coordination amongst CSOs in security and justice is weak and clustered in thematic areas such as human rights and access to justice. The organisations that do work on security and justice issues do so from human rights and access to justice perspectives. Donors could feasibly initiate a more inclusive security and justice debate amongst CSOs by directing efforts towards facilitating a national platform furthering the engagement and collaboration of CSOs on issues of security and justice. Opportunities and challenges facing existing CSOs and networks Providing impetus for CSOs to engage with the government on issues of security and justice remains a significant challenge. CSOs are generally disengaged and it may be necessary for a lead organisation to be identified and to advance the process of bringing together security and justice stakeholders.

We must take the war to the criminals and no longer allow the situation in which we are mere sitting ducks of those in our society who, for whatever reason, are bent to engage in criminal and anti-social activities. Instructions have therefore already gone out to the Minister of Safety and Security, the National Commissioner of the Police Service and the security organs as a whole to take all necessary measures to bring down the levels of crime.
