60000 50000 40000 30000 20000 10000 Gauteng, KZN and Northern Cape and Free State regions had the lowest average number of RDs in September 2009, while other three regions had the lowest number of RDs at different months i.e., Eastern Cape in September 2008; LMN in June 2008 and Western Cape in December 2008. All regions had an increase in the population of RDs which exceeded the regional monthly average of March 2009 with the exception of KwaZulu Natal. 0 April 2008 June 2008 September 2008 All ATDs per Region GAUTENG 16969 16914 16310 16064 16587 16598 16028 15856 16875 18319 EC 6100 5934 5872 5900 6221 6316 6153 6088 6100 6684 KZN 8665 8208 8091 8055 8195 8213 7520 6806 6833 7496 LMN 3433 3152 3210 3367 3431 3484 3245 3163 3603 3871 NC/FS 5930 5619 5233 5149 5344 5362 5182 4982 5111 5538 WC 9025 9078 8825 8075 9106 8925 8916 8839 8613 9676 Grand Total 50122 48907 47540 46612 48885 48898 47045 45734 47134 51584 4.2.3. RDs and Crime December 2008 March 2009 April 2009 June 2009 September 2009 Figure 4.2. All RDs per region: April 2008 to January 2010 December 2009 January 2010 DCS utilizes five (5) broad crime categories which are “aggressive”, “economical”, “sexual,” “narcotics” (drug-related) and others. These categories were developed to meet the rehabilitation needs of offenders in DCS. As such, they differ from those utilized by SAPS. DCS has reviewed its crime categories by extending them to seventeen. The revised categories have not been computerized yet. Therefore, the profile report is based on five old crime categories. The revised categories are presented below: Murder and related offences Culpable Homicide and Related Offences Assault and Related Offences Sexual Offences 58
60000 50000 40000 30000 20000 10000 Robbery and Related Offences Theft Related Offences Fraud, Deception and Related Offences Drug and Alcohol Related Offences Firearms and Ammunition Offences Weapons and Explosive Offences (other than firearms and ammunition) Property and Environment Damage Public Order and Public Welfare Offences Road Traffic and Vehicle Regulatory Offences Offences against Justice, Procedures, Government Security and Government Trafficking Related Offences Offences against Freedom of Movement Miscellaneous Offences It is important to note that reporting on crime categories will not reflect the multiple crimes that the RDs are detained for because the current Admission and Release system utilized for capturing information in DCS allows for placement of an inmate in one most aggressive crime category. The majority of RDs are incarcerated for aggressive crimes (48 to 49%) followed by economic crimes (29 to 31%) and sexual crimes (14 to 15%). RDs detained for drug-related crimes ranged between 2 and 3%. 0 April 2008 June 2008 September 2008 ATDs and Crime Categories December 2008 March 2009 April 2009 June 2009 September 2009 December 2009 Aggressive 23931 23276 22756 22908 23583 23536 22854 22510 23078 24973 Economical 14939 14853 14551 13612 14779 14976 14496 13738 13950 15471 Narcotics 1298 1289 1282 1087 1256 1229 1144 1052 1180 1310 Other 2362 2418 2120 2194 2338 2258 2030 2099 2265 2542 Sexual 7591 7072 6832 6811 6928 6900 6521 6335 6661 7287 Grand Total 50122 48907 47540 46612 48884 48898 47045 45734 47134 51584 Figure 4.3.
