Crime dips in Makana

Makana would seem to be a safer place to live in if recently released crime statistics are anything to go by. 

Makana would seem to be a safer place to live in if recently released crime statistics are anything to go by. 

Trends around police stations within the Makana municipal boundary reveal that contact crime has gone down in Makana, while in some areas reported incidents have remained relatively constant. 
 
According to the crime statistics released by National Commissioner General Riah Phiyega this past Friday, contact crime seems to be on the decrease in Makana between April 2013 and March 2014 compared to the same period last year.
 
Contact crimes in Grahamstown are on the decrease according to the stats, with murder, sexual crimes and robbery with aggravating circumstances all taking a dip this year compared to last year. 
 
Meanwhile cases of assault with the intention to inflict grievous bodily harm (assault GBH) are clearly on the increase throughout Makana, apart from Seven Fountains, where rates have remained constant. 
 
Cases of assault GBH are the most highly reported in terms of contact crime throughout Makana. 
 
Within less than a year 67 cases of assault GBH were reported to the newly-opened Joza Police station, which is three times higher than the second-most reported contact crime since the police station was opened on March 27. 
 
Fort Brown reported the least amount of contact crimes with just five cases of assault GBH, and no murders, sexual crimes, robbery or attempted murder cases reported this year.
