Crime in Southern Africa has increased substantially over the past few decades and rapidly become a major social problem posing a distinct barrier to the development process. It is recognised that as countries in the region continue to make the transition from 'traditional' to 'modern' and to experience profound socio-economic, political and cultural changes, there will be concomitant changes in the levels, types and patterns of criminal behaviour as well as in criminal justice responses. In early 1994 the Department of Sociology at the University of Botswana approached the United Nations Interregional Crime and Justice Research Institute (UNICRI) in Rome to collaborate in the organisation of a workshop with the theme 'Crime in Botswana: Towards the Year 2000'. The workshop was held in Gaborone, Botswana, from 19-21 June 1996 and involved the participation of representatives of seven Southern Africa countries: Botswana, Lesotho, Malawi, South Africa, Swaziland, Zambia and Zimbabwe. The specifïc objectives of the workshop were: 1. To analyse and consider current trends in crime and criminal justice in Southern Africa, with particular reference to Botswana. 2. To identify the social, cultural, economic and political consequences of these trends over the next decade. 3. To highlight implications for current national development plans and social policies on the prevention of crime and the treatment of offenders. 4. To identify gaps in current research and available information on crime and criminal justice. 5. To identify the main issues and concerns for the region in the light of the findings of the Ninth United Nations Congress on the Prevention of Crime and the Treatment of Offenders. 6. To collate a workshop report that can be used in policy formation.There were four main themes of the workshop: Crime in perspective; The criminal justice system; Research and information on crime and criminal justice; Prevention of crime and the treatment of offenders.
