The  strengthening of social cohesion in our communities is undoubtedly high  on our agenda especially this time around where we are focusing our  attention on dealing with the scourges of crime across the province.<\/p>\n<p>The Provincial Crime Prevention Strategy is a relevant tool, based on  the challenges faced by society today. It also gives all of our key  stakeholders an opportunity to integrate in the fight against crime. The  implementation of this strategy requires a formalised multi-agency  approach towards integrated planning and an on-going research to enable  us to realise our objectives.<\/p>\n<p>We will continue to deepen our social crime prevention initiatives;  tighten the content of our community mobilisation and messaging.<\/p>\n<p>These incidents happen against the backdrop of the important gains we  have made in fighting other forms of crime. Whilst we commended the  good work done by the department and our partners against crime such as  the South African Police Services, Community Police Forum, Youth Against  Crime, Women Against Crime,<\/p>\n<p>Business against Crime, Neighbourhood watches, Street Communities and Municipalities, etc.<\/p>\n<p>The Northern Cape Provincial Crime Prevention Strategy (PCPS), based  on the principles of the National Crime Prevention Strategy, addresses  these unique safety challenges of the Northern Cape which commonly  relates to violence caused by the excessive use of alcohol and drug  abuse.<\/p>\n<p>Our department remains committed to these 6 outputs, namely:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li> Reduction in violent crimes<\/li>\n<li>Reduction in crimes against women and children<\/li>\n<li>Crime perception management<\/li>\n<li>Effectiveness and integration of the criminal justice system<\/li>\n<li>Reduction in corruption, and<\/li>\n<li>Reduction in road fatalities<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>We call on all our partners in the public sector, communities and  business to partner in the continued fight against crime in the Province  as we gear-up to the official launch.<\/p>\n<p>Expected to attend the launch is the Honourable Premier for Northern  Cape, Mme Sylvia Lucas, MEC\u2019s\u00a0 and all role players in the fight against  crime.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Issued by: <\/strong> Lebogang Majaha<\/p>\n<p>Ministerial Spokesperson<\/p>\n<p>Transport, Safety and Liaison<\/p>\n<p>Northern Cape Province<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Department geared-up to launch the Provincial Crime Prevention Strategy.
