So far, Zimbabwe’s neighbour (South Africa) along with its development partners, such as the World Bank, has managed to create dynamic records, which show the impact of crime on the country’s (South Africa’s) economy.

Such information is vital in order to understand the urgency of crime and also for the selection of effective methods in responding to it.

In Zimbabwe, reports of violent robberies have been increasing in the past decade.

However, the Zimbabwe Republic Police(ZRP) seem to be equal to the task, through their apprehension of thieves.

In February, for instance, Quest Financial Services, located in Belgravia, lost US$720 000 to 12 robbers.

Although the thieves had managed to escape from the scene of the crime, half of them were located and placed in police custody, within only two days of committing the offense.

The effectiveness of the ZRP is a crucial part of what keeps order and civility within Zimbabwe.

However, a little more can still be done to ensure that crime continues to be overwhelmed by the police force and the rest of the criminal justice system. 🔗
