Abstract
This article seeks to trace the way in which the reform of policing has developed in South Africa and to identify some of the lessons that can be learned from the problems that have arisen. In developing the argument, the article will:
- explore the situation that the new government found themselves in;
- identify the policy framework developed to respond to this situation;
- trace the trajectory of reform and the reasons for the departure from what was intended; and
- suggest lessons that might be drawn for redirecting the reform process.
