Misdaad in die platteland in vergelyking met stede is steeds minder, maar dorpe soos Stellenbosch staan ongelukkig om die verkeerde redes uit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Die misdaadstastiek vir die provinsie se derde kwartaal, gemeet tussen Oktober en Desember 2023, is onlangs deur die Suid-Afrikaanse Polisiediens bekendgestel en Stellenbossers loop daagliks onder verskeie misdade deur.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In die Wes-Kaap het kontakmisdade, insluitend moord, poging tot moord, aanranding (met die doel om ernstig te beseer) en gewone aanranding, roof met verswarende omstandighede en gewone roof met 5,6% toegeneem, vergeleke met dieselfde tydperk in 2022.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In die provinsie lyk die statistiek soos volg: moord het van 1 198 tot 1 301 (8,6%) toegeneem, poging tot moord het van 955 tot 1 314 (37,6%) gevalle gestyg, aanranding met die doel om ernstige te beseer het van 7 160 tot 7 335 toegeneem (2,4%), gewone aanranding het van 11 997 tot 12 150 (1,3%) gestyg, roof met verswarende omstandighede het van 5 661 tot 6 468 (14,3%) gestyg; en gewone roof het van 2 662 tot 2 941 (10,5%) opgeskiet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Seksuele misdrywe, aan die ander kant, dui op \u2019n daling van 4,9%, nadat dit van 2 157 in 2022 tot 2 051 tot 2023 gedaal het \u2013 met \u2019n algehele verskil van 103 klagtes. Dit is grootliks te danke aan \u2019n afname van 7,7% vir verkragting (wat gedaal het van 1 518 tot 1 401) en \u2019n 2,6%-afname in seksuele aanranding (wat van 469 tot 457 afgeneem het). Pogings tot seksuele misdrywe het egter die hoogte in geskiet \u2013 van 126 tot 145, \u2019n toename van 15,1%.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Net soos in die gevalle van dwelmverwante gevalle is seksuele misdrywe oop vir vertolking, omdat talle gevalle nie aangemeld word nie.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In die geval van dwelmverwante sake word \u2019n toename as \u2019n positiewe gesien, omdat dit beteken meer kwaaddoeners word vasgevang.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Motorkaping en roof by residensi\u00eble persele in die provinsie het met onderskeidelik 14% en 7,3% toegeneem.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Stellenbosch se polisiekantoor is onder die top-20 vir eiendomsverwante misdade (derde in die land), inbraak by residensi\u00eble persele (15de), inbraak by nie-residensi\u00eble persele (16de), ander ernstige misdrywe (25ste), en diefstal wat onder geen ander afdeling genoem word nie (16de).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In Cloetesville is vier meer gevalle van poging tot moord in die tydperk aangemeld, met 15 gevalle. Twee gevalle van brandstig is aangemeld. Agt gevalle vir die besit van onwettige vuurwapens en ammunisie \u2013 ses meer as in 2022 \u2013 is aangemeld. Gevalle van inbrake het met drie gevalle na vyf toegeneem en by die Groot-Drakenstein-polisiekantoor is 22 gevalle \u2013 18 meer \u2013 aangemeld.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In Stellenbosch is poging tot moord op met 31 gevalle tot 38.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Aanranding (gewoon) het toegeneem met 20,5% (159 gevalle) en aanrandings (gewoon) met 42,6% na 77 gevalle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Afdelings waar gevalle afgeneem het, sluit in dwelmverwante sake \u2013 af na 179 gevalle. Sewe minder gevalle van winkeldiefstal is aangemeld (42) en die gevalle van motor- en motorfiets- diefstal is op met 29 gevalle tot 50.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Kontakmisdade in die dorp het toegeneem met 30,2% na 112 gevalle. Tale inwoners se eiendomme loop ook deur met opsetlike beskadiging van eiendom op met 27,4% (107 gevalle) en 15 gevalle van rooftogte by residensi\u00eble persele is aangeteken.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Kommersi\u00eble misdaad het ook toegeneem met 168 gevalle (28 meer) wat aangemeld is. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Ander misdade wat afgeneem het, was verkragting \u2013 sewe minder \u2013 na 19, seksuele misdrywe (af na 27), roof met verswarende omstandighede 24,4% af na 96, en trio-misdade met nege minder gevalle na 23.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Een geval van kaping van \u2019n vragmotor is aangemeld en vyf gevalle van brandstigting.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
