METHODOLOGY

 Crimes perpetrated within the borders of South Africa reported at the 1 163 police stations including satellite stations and stations at
ports of entry are discussed in this report. Reported crimes are recorded as they are brought (by either the victims, witnesses or third
parties) to the attention of the police or as when detected by the police, irrespective of when the crime(s) were committed or who
committed them.
 The crime statistics are derived from the administrative recording process. A crime code is allocated to each reported crime type (e.g.
murder with code 31984-murder, 31990-farm murder and 31989-police murder). These crime codes are then aggregated into daily
summary of serious crime (DSSC) codes (e.g. DSSC 01 for all murder).
 For operational use, the crime statistics are extracted using the DSSC code from a live system daily/weekly to compile daily/weekly
crime reports.
 For strategic use, each station has to synchronise aggregated DSSC codes to from the live system. After all the stations synchronises in
the province, then the monthly, quarterly and annually crime statistics can be extracted nationally for computation and
dissemination.
 The crime report mainly focuses on the 21 priority crimes grouped into two main types namely:
 17 community-reported serious crimes (subdivided into four broad categories, contact, contact-related, property-related and
other serious crimes) and
 The four crimes that are detected as a result of police action.

METHODOLOGY
Continue …
 To measure and explain the changing crime trend direction, the count difference between the years including the percentage increase
and decrease is computed. To compare the provincial crime per 100 000 a ratio is calculated and also percentage contribution is
calculated.
 The percentage changes are computed by comparing the preceding and current (period under review) financial year figures. The
following formula is used:
Percentage Change (% Increase/Decrease) = 100
 If the previous year’s figure is 0, only the actual figure for the current financial year is mentioned.
 Contribution Percentage means the ratio, expressed as a percentage calculated to the nearest one-hundredth of one percent, of the
sum. Its used to calculate the contribution of crime , station, district to the total/sum and is computed as follows :
% Contribution = 100 (Replace "number" with the specific value you want to calculate a percentage of and "total" with
the overall value or sum).
 The crime to population ratio is computed for provincial comparability in the number of crimes committed against persons during a
specific financial year.
 The mid-year population estimates to make the computation of the ratios are obtained from Statistics South Africa (Stats SA) on
a quarterly and annually based on the 2021 series. The following formula is used:
Population R = 100 000

COUNTING RULES

 The statistics represent the number of charges or counts and not the number of case dockets registered.
 One case docket can contain a single count of a specific offence, multiple counts of same offence or several different type of
offences.
 The recorded offences may involve one victim or complainant or multiple victims.
 e.g. if murder and rape occurred during a house robbery incident, all three crimes will be counted in the statistics.
 In a murders case bodies are counted, while in a rape case victims and perpetrators are counted for a charge to be registered.
 e.g. if four people are killed in one incident, then four murder counts are recorded. If three perpetrators rape one woman
then three counts of rapes will be registered. Inversely if three women are raped by one perpetrator then also three
rapes will be registered. Also if three women are raped each by three men then nine counts of rapes will be registered.
 For property crimes, regardless of how many items are taken only one count will be registered, e.g. if a TV, radio and microwave are
stolen in one incident of burglary at residential premises then only one count will be registered.
 Different crime definitions and classifications are used by different agencies or institutions. For instance, the SAPS definition of
robbery of cash in transit (CIT), differs with the definition used by the South African Banking Risk Information Centre (SABRIC) and/or
Cash In Transit Association of South African (CITASA). According to the SAPS definition, the CIT Company must already have taken
control over the money, while with SABRIC/CITASA the CIT Company must be present when the money is robbed and not necessarily
having taken control of the money.

QUALITY MANAGEMENT
_
 The SAPS followed the rigorous independent data quality assessment conducted by the Data Quality Assessment Team (DQAT) during
the 2018/2019 Crime Statistic release and was granted the Official Statistics status by SG.
 The attainment of the Official Statistics status was the culmination of putting to action collaboration objectives as outlined in
the Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) entered into by the two agencies, in March 2015.
 A five year period is the timeframe set by the SG’s assessment framework to maintain the Official statistics status for the Annual
Crime Statistics. However this Official Statistics status will be revoked if there is methodological change in the compilation of the
statistics and the reassessment will be initiated.
 Quality control checks conducted by SAPS include the daily Case Administration System (CAS) data quality verification performed at
National and Provincial level. The Crime Informational Management Analysis Centre (CIMAC) at police station peruse physical case
docket and alert the station management on data integrity concerns. This process is backed up by the province or national offices
where cases are referred back to station if any discrepancies are identified.
 Legal service in the organisation plays a critical role in terms of providing the quality assurance team with legal opinion where conflict
of ideas and understanding occur between the stations and quality assurance official on the correct charges.

DISSEMINATION

 The SAPS crime statistics dissemination processes adheres to principles and standards that inter alia endorses transparency . SAPS
crime statistics dissemination processes subscribes to :
 the United Nation (UN) Fundamental principles of Official Statistics,
 the International Monetary Fund (IMF) General Data Dissemination Standard (GDDS) and
 the South African Statistical Quality Assessment Framework (SASQAF).
 According to SASQAF indicators and standards as informed by the UN’s Official Statistics principles, statistical release must be
made available to all users at the same time and must be released on a pre-announced schedule.
 The pre-announced schedule (calendar) for the quarters of the 2023/2024 financial year is published on the SAPS website
(https://www.saps.gov.za/services/crimestats.php), taking into account the GDDS requirements about the release of non-
economic statistics six weeks after the reference period.
 Definitions of crime discussed are listed in Annexure A of this report.
