the Individual National crime surveYs
The Purpose
The Individual National Crime Surveys (INCS), a flagship initiative of Human Police Policing Human Pty Ltd, aim to capture the personal experiences, fears, and expectations of South Africans in relation to crime, safety, and policing. Unlike broad institutional surveys, this initiative centres the voice of the individual — making it possible to highlight human-level realities behind national crime trends.
The INCS are designed to: Inform targeted and community-sensitive crime prevention strategies; Influence budget allocations by highlighting specific needs, province by province; Offer a credible, independent evidence base for public, private, and policy use; Drive accountability and transparency by reflecting real-life safety concerns and expectations.
By placing individuals at the centre of national safety dialogue, the Individual National Crime Surveys aim to shape a future where policing is guided by the people it serves.

Impoverished communities around the world often face high levels of crime, driven largely by unemployment, lack of opportunity, and limited access to sustainable development initiatives. In recent years, there has been growing interest in how environmental and climate-related interventions—such as renewable energy, green jobs, and eco-infrastructure—can contribute not only to sustainability but also to social stability and crime prevention. .
This study explores the potential of green strategies to serve as practical tools for reducing crime in under-resourced areas. Specifically, it investigates how youth-led renewable energy projects, green job creation, vocational training, and environmental infrastructure can empower communities, improve livelihoods, and shift behaviours away from criminal activity.
Through five key questions, this research seeks to understand the relationship between environmental sustainability and social safety, and how the green economy can be harnessed to transform high-risk areas into thriving, secure communities. .
With one question that want to address the increase in the unemployment rate, which is the individuals between the ages 36 to 59 years.
Your responses will help generate new insights for policymakers, community leaders, and development practitioners working at the intersection of climate action, youth development, and crime prevention.
The survey will take approximately 5–10 minutes to complete.
