1. Introduction
South Africa has long grappled with high levels of crime and
violence, making the field of victimology essential for developing
effective responses to victims’ needs. Although significant progress
has been made in theoretical frameworks and policy formulation, a
persistent challenge lies in implementing victimological principles
into practice. This essay critically explores the statement that South
African victimology still needs to make the transition from theory
and policy to practice. It will examine three interrelated dimensions:
victimological theory, policy development, and practical
implementation, referencing key legislation and assessing their
effectiveness.
