Police recorded crime statistics are derived from an administrative data
collection process.
All crimes are recorded as and when they are brought to the attention, or
detected by police, irrespective of when the crimes were committed.
A docket is opened for every crime brought to the attention of the police and
subsequently electronically transcribed on the Case Administrative System-CAS.
CAS numbers are allocated chronologically according to the month-year on
which the crime was reported.
Each reported crime incident is allocated a crime code, which are then
aggregated into Daily Summary of Serious Crime (DSSC) Code.
DSSC codes are used for classification and statistical reporting purposes.

![Page 7: Crime situation in South Africa - SAPS · 2017-10-24 · The source document for recording crime is a docket, and the counting unit is a charge. One docket may contain one or multiple](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022041913/5e6831e90821ea4ff74a60c8/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
The source document for recording crime is a docket, and the counting unit is a
charge.
One docket may contain one or multiple charges i.e. there can be more than one
charge in one docket.
In case where multiple offences are committed within the same scenario, each
offence will be recorded in addition to the primary offence. These additional counts
also form part of the crime statistics (e.g. gang rape and common robbery).
Regardless of the manner in which the cases are closed (withdrawn by the
complainant or court and undetected), the recorded crime will still form part of the
crime statistics.
In this crime report the statistics represent the number of crime charges or counts
and not the number of registered case docket.

National Statistics System (SANSS) framework of engagement. The latter has six
components namely Problem Identification, Diagnostic Assessment, Development

for quality. The findings of these assessments were presented to the Crime
Registrar for correction and implementation in the value chain of production.
The Crime Registrar has incorporated changes in line with the Clearance
Committee recommendations.
The SASQAF self–assessment process was undertaken during the current financial
year. The self–assessment is currently being discussed by the members of the
SANSS and feedback will be provided in due course.
