About This Item
(Johannesburg: Jonathan Ball, 2007) 9781868422845. 197 x 128 mm; laminated pictorial wrappers; pp. 189. Some foxing to edges. Very good condition. "A Country at War with Itself is a penetrating exploration of South Africa's crime problem. Getting behind the statistics to offer a sober and sobering account of the scale of the problem and its evolution, it describes how government has sometimes sought to deal with the crisis and sometimes sought to deny its existence. Analysing the weaknesses of the police and criminal justice system, it sets out a programme that would take us from 'fighting crime' to fighting criminals'." .
