LAW AND ORDER

A UCDP-led government will ensure the safety and security of communities by putting in place and managing in a responsible manner:

• An accountable and well remunerated criminal justice system to wipe out crime and corruption
• The reintroduction of the Directorate of Special Operations alias the Scorpions
• The return of specialised units to deal with sexual offences against women and children, rape crimes and stock theft
• Improvement of service delivery including victim support and empowerment to ensure that victims of crime are treated with respect and dignity, are provided with information and the opportunity to testify without fear; and are protected from secondary and repeated victimisation
• More effective measures to prevent escapes from custody
• The fast-tracking and review of paroles and awaiting-trial cases
• The rehabilitation of inmates; and
• Services of chaplains to the police, staff of the prisons and inmates of the prisons.
