Police Oracle - Subscription at source 17/5/2019 News Pact welcomes Ministry of Justice approach to probation but calls for bigger role for the voluntary & community sector "As a non-profit organisation delivering frontline services to reduce the risk of re-offending by people leaving prison, we recognise a number of important flaws in the ‘Transforming Rehabilitation’ programme, and we broadly welcome the Government’s announcement regarding bringing Offender Supervision back into public ownership under a re-unified National Probation Service." Pact 17/5/2019 News The Surprising Case of Police Bribery Reduction in South Africa The paper examines why there was a reduction of almost 15% in police bribery in Limpopo province, South Africa between 2011 and 2015, compared to only a 4% reduction the country overall. Drawing on statistical analysis and in-depth qualitative fieldwork, the research shows that the reduction occurred during an unprecedented anticorruption intervention in the province that did not directly tackle police bribery. Despite this, the intervention’s high visibility, along with uncertainty among the police of its mandate, was likely to have made police less willing to engage in bribery during this period. While police sector-specific characteristics (high degree of discretion, peer solidarity and contact with criminals) make fighting entrenched corruption particularly difficult, the research shows how a disruptive event can counteract these factors and how this can happen more quickly than previously anticipated. For long-term impact, however, disruption strategies likely need to be driven by strong leadership and structural changes that will continually disrupt corruption patterns.
