Human security is an emergent pattern for understanding global weaknesses. Its proponents challenge the traditional notion of national security by arguing that the appropriate person responsible for security should be the individual rather than the state. South Africa, 21 years into the transition from apartheid to democracy, has failed to effect a change in the system of criminal justice which is immediately capable of responding to the challenges of crime. This chapter seeks to assess the law enforcement component and postulate how it should be sensitised towards crime against citizens and against violations of human rights.
