The overall objective of the research was to explore crime prevention partnerships between the state and the private security sector in selected Southern African countries. While the policy interventions targeted through this research mainly focus on the national level, utilising the research findings in influencing policies at the sub-regional, regional and international levels could be an important consideration. It is hoped that through this research, the establishment and strengthening of partnerships between the state and the private security sector, in particular, will result in the drastic reduction of crime levels in these countries and also prove that such partnerships could be viable and strategically sound tools for crime prevention in the southern African region.  aCrime, Security  uiffoadatabase.trustafrica.org/iff/IDL-54416.pdf  cCF  c857d857
