South Africa: 113.4
A view from a broader context
South Africa has one of the
highest inequality rates in
the world.
The ecological model
                     The Macrosystem
                 Government social programs and
   policies, socio-economic factors, attitudes and ideologies of
                             culture




                   The Exosystem

         Neighbourhoods, extended family, health,
              social and legal services, media



                 The Microsystem
                     Family, peers, school




                       Individual
                         Gender, age,

                        temperament
Individuals and violence
• Key questions:
  – Does South Africa have more life-course persistent
    offenders?
  – What is the role of learning disabilities?
  – What about empathy-based guilt?
  – What is the effect of delayed attainment of
    adulthood?
  – Can violence be reduced by reducing the
    vulnerabilities of victims?
Microsystem contexts: the family
• Effective, culturally appropriate parenting
  programs
• Reducing intimate partner violence
Microsystem contexts: the school
• Develop school-based violence prevention
  programmes and policies
Microsystem contexts: the peer group
• The role of peers in offending
• Gangs
• Leisure opportunities
Exosystem contexts: the neighbourhood

• Relationships between families and
  neighbourhoods
• How can we improve neighbourhood crime
  prevention without encouraging vigilantism?
• Why are patterns of violence across different
  communities very different?
Exosystem contexts: health services
• How can medical and psychological services
  best be provided for victims?
• Screening and prevention:
  – Alcohol misuse
  – Promoting maternal health
  – Promoting parenting
  – Reducing intimate partner violence
  – Early detection of child mental health problems
• Surveillance of injury and mortality
Exosystem contexts: policing
• The role of the police in a constitutional
  democracy
• Roles of State and non-State entities
Exosystem contexts: the media
• Media violence, sexism, materialism:
  – What are the mechanisms by which these are
    associated with violence?
  – Do these relationships hold in the high-violence
    context of South Africa?
Macrosystem contexts:
     Social norms around violence
• Violence is legitimate when perpetrated by
  higher-status individuals against lower-status
  individuals
• Violence is a legitimate way of resolving
  disputes
Macrosystem contexts:
         Socio-economic factors
• Is it economic inequality?
Macrosystem contexts:
           Government policies
• Policy evaluation:
  – Of policies intended to prevent violence (the
    Children’s Act)
  – Of policies indirectly likely to affect violence
    (alcohol control)
Conclusion
• There are two main strands of research:
  – Understanding violence better
  – Intervention research
• These questions are inter-twined, and require
  inter-disciplinary collaboration
