Mpumelelo Mkhabela | How do we curtail the continuous production of criminals?

Crime statistics continuously reveal a country under siege from criminals, and while there is something wrong with the country's crime-fighting strategies, Mpumelelo Mkhabela argues that the police minister and the police service are not entirely responsible for it.
