Title: Bridging the Gap: Victimology in South Africa – From
Theory and Policy to Practice
1. Introduction
Victimology, as a field of criminological inquiry, focuses on the study of
victims and their interactions with the criminal justice system. It aims to
understand how crime affects individuals and groups, how victims are
treated by legal and social institutions, and how they can be better
supported and protected. In South Africa, victimology has gained
academic and policy attention, especially in the post-apartheid era,
where issues of justice, equity, and rehabilitation are key to
transformation.
Despite this progress, there is a notable disconnect between academic
theory, policy development, and the real-world experiences of victims.
