The alleged cooking of crime statistics by police stations in three provinces is the consequence of "fear" instilled in police managers by former national police commissioner Jackie Selebi, Johan Burger of the Institute of Security Studies (ISS) has charged.
Last week the Mail & Guardian reported on the alleged manipulation of statistics by a KwaZulu-Natal police station and victimisation of a whistleblower.
Further cases of the concealment and destruction of dockets in Gauteng and the Western Cape have since been reported, including a whistleblower's claims that the Paarl police station failed to record or investigate 52 rape cases, including one involving a child of four.
