7 Key reasons to report crime

A crime stat is only a crime stat once it has been reported to SAPS.

Here are seven key reason to report crime:

• It helps with establishing crime trends and provides authorities with invaluable information on how to best allocate resources.
• It helps in understanding both motive and modus of the crime and how crime prevention strategies are being deployed
• It may alter decisions homeowners make about their personal safety
• It can influence how homeowners live day to day
• It helps the community to better understand and respond to safety issues
• It can lead to more arrests as your crime could be a critical link to another similar crime and could result in an arrest.
