Abstract

The aftermath of COVID-19 has wrought significant emotional distress, exacerbating the incidence of emotionally motivated crimes, particularly within families. This phenomenon presents a substantial challenge to the South African Police Service (SAPS), especially due to the private nature of these crimes. In response, this study investigates whether the religious community in the Mamelodi policing area can leverage emotional intelligence (EI) to foster resilience and aid in crime prevention. We employed a quantitative approach, utilizing non-probability sampling to survey 104 adult Christians in Mamelodi. Participants provided informed consent. The Trait Emotional Intelligence Questionnaire-Short Form (TEIQue-SF) was used for assessment, covering four EI variables: emotionality, self-control, sociability, and well-being. The findings reveal a high level of EI, with scores of 74.06% for emotionality, 68.41% for self-control, 59.26% for sociability, and an impressive 86.84% for well-being, culminating in an overall EI score of 72.14%. These results suggest that Mamelodi's churches are effective community-based entities capable of collaborating with SAPS to prevent emotionally driven crimes, through resilience-building rooted in EI competencies. This research contributes to the South African academic discourse by intersecting psychology, policing, and community studies, particularly focusing on a township population often living below the poverty line and with limited EI awareness.

Abstract

This research examines the South African Police Service (SAPS) and the challenges faced in achieving satisfactory conviction rates and employing effective investigation methods for business robbery cases. Employing a qualitative research approach, the study involved a comprehensive literature review and structured interviews with fingerprint experts and data processors affiliated with the Carletonville SAPS. The primary aim was to investigate and analyze potential solutions to the identified issues. The study reveals that the implementation of the Automated Fingerprint Identification System (AFIS) represents a viable solution. The findings indicate that AFIS technology has the potential to significantly enhance the investigation and prevention of various criminal activities, including theft, business robberies, and homicides. AFIS facilitates the rapid matching of biometric markers and fingerprints, enabling the swift identification and linking of suspects to specific crimes. While acknowledging both the strengths and limitations of AFIS, the research underscores its substantial potential to revolutionize law enforcement practices. By integrating AFIS, law enforcement agencies can achieve notable improvements in the efficiency and accuracy of criminal investigations. This research provides a foundational step toward the development and implementation of effective strategies for crime prevention and combat in South Africa.
