FROM THE PRESIDENT
Prof Jaco Barkhuizen
This year has really flown so quickly. It feels like just yesterday when we started this new road of change and renewal. But here we are, at the tail end of 2018. To those criminologists at academic institutions I wish you good luck with the exam season. You are now about to reap the fruits of the hard work you have put in throughout the year and soon a well-deserved break will follow. I recently travelled to Indonesia for some research and to deliver some papers. While there a very big earthquake and tsunami hit the Island of Sulawesi and the city of Palu. The devastation is/was horrific and many human lives were lost. While I was observing the carnage from the relative safety of Java, the Indonesian Victimology and Criminology society sprang into action. They organised a trauma specialist, disaster management, environmental safety as well as child experts from their ranks to go and help with primary intervention. As soon as the one port was open a delegation of Victimologists and Criminologists were on the ground helping out. I saw this as living your passion for our science and our love for our fellow human beings. It is my wish that one day through CRIMSA and our lobbying, that we could do something similar.

FROM THE EDITOR
Dr Mahlogonolo Thobane
I must admit to being less than energetic in compiling this issue. Before you judge me this is not attributed to lack of interest or shortage of news to report on but due to exhaustion caused by a very busy year. I do not know about any of you, but 2018 was for me, personally, a very eventful year and I cannot wait for it to happily come to an end. With that said, now it seems like the right time to fill everybody in, before the rush of the last quarter, with what has happened in our Society in quarter three. Since the last issue of CRIMSA News, our members have been fully occupied with a number of very exciting activities. One such activity was the Inaugural Emerging Researchers’ Colloquium jointly hosted by the office of the Vice-president/Transformation Chairperson and the ACTA Editor-in-Chief Prof Lillian Artz with assistance of the newly elected Assistant Editorial Board Members (Ms L Sadiki, Dr. L Fitz, Ms V. Maweni and Ms O. Chabalala). More information on this event can be found under the Newsflash section.
Shared in this newsletter is the extension of submission of articles for the Anniversary Edition of ACTA to 30 March 2019. Members, emerging and seasoned researchers alike, are encouraged to take advantage of this extension and submit articles relevant to the topic. Also covered in this newsletter is information on contributions made by CRIMSA members at various local and international conferences; graduations of post-graduate students and recently published research articles. Also important to note is that our AGM is scheduled for 8 February 2019 and it will be held at the Tshwane University of Technology either at the Pretoria West or Soshanguve Campus. More information will be shared with you in the next edition of the newsletter and via email. You are reminded to please renew your 2018 membership online at http://www.crimsa.ac.za/membership.php. Please remember to email your proof of payment and related documents such as proof of registration if you are a student member to the CRIMSA secretary, Dr Kholofelo Mothibi at [email protected] or [email protected]. Banking details are attached at the end of this newsletter. Please circulate the online form to potential new members and your students. All correspondence related to the newsletter should be emailed to [email protected].

ACTA CRIMINOLOGICA
CALL FOR PAPERS: 30TH ANNIVERSARY EDITION(S) OF ACTA
Extension of Deadline: 30 March 2019
We invite you to submit papers for two proposed Editions for the 30-year anniversary of the first publication of our journal, Acta Criminologica. Criminology: The Last 30 Years of Criminology in Africa This edition will focus on the history of South African Criminology from 1988-2018. We invite the submission of papers on the origins, contradictions, contestations and advancements of criminology, victimology, and criminal justice over these three decades. We encourage original ‘thought pieces’, chronological works, papers on the changes in, and emergence of, specific areas of focus of the discipline, marginalised subjects of criminology, and the changing face of criminological scholarship and teaching during this period. Re-envisioning Criminology The second edition will focus on the future of criminology in Africa (‘re-envisioning’ the discipline). Submissions to the journal can include topics such as the decolonisation/Africanisation of criminology, innovative methodologies in criminological research, emerging epistemologies, and contemporary subject matters for research and teaching. We strongly encourage the submission of articles from emerging and early career scholars, post-graduate students as well as more established scholars. We also encourage the process of co-writing of articles between more ‘senior scholars’ and those who are ‘emerging scholars’, as part of the bigger project of ‘re-imagining’ the future of criminology and associated disciplines.
We will only accept articles that fit into the two themes above.
The Editorial Policy Acta Criminologica is a peer-reviewed academic journal which promotes academic and professional discourse and the publishing of research results on the subject of crime and victimisation, conflict, deviance, abuse of power and reaction to crime and other crime-related phenomena in the broad Criminological Sciences and applied criminal justice field. When considering your submission, it is also important to remember that Policy and Procedures for Measurement of Research Output of Public Higher Education Institutions, research output is defined as “textual output where research is understood as original, systematic investigation undertaken in order to gain new knowledge and understanding” (Ministry of Education, 2003: 3). Therefore, an uncritical synthesis of literature without contributing any new insight to existing knowledge falls outside the scope of this definition and “peer evaluation of the research is considered a fundamental prerequisite of all recognised output and is the mechanism of ensuring and thus enhancing quality” (Ministry of Education, 2003: 3-4). Please submit your articles to: [email protected] and kindly copy in [email protected] to ensure that all articles are received in good order.

NOTICE OF CHANGES TO SUBMISSION GUIDELINES TO: ACTA CRIMINOLOGICA: SOUTHERN AFRICAN JOURNAL OF CRIMINOLOGY
As of 15 October 2018, Acta Criminologica will not be accepting multiple submissions from the same author(s) within any given publication year. In March 2017, the DHET instituted the following rule: (5.10(c)): At least 75% of contributions published in the journal must emanate from multiple institutions. In other words, only 25% of articles may be from one university/organisation. Acta Criminologica continues to receive multiple submissions from the same author(s) within the same year. This poses significant challenges for the journal, including making the application of Rule 5.10(b) above difficult to apply. Against the background of the DHET criteria, the need for Acta to ensure a diversity of publications (institutional, author and disciplinary diversity), and to increase opportunities for emerging and other researchers, this practice of submitting multiple papers per annum will no longer be accepted. The Journal will therefore limit the number of articles submitted in any one publication year to:
a) One (1) first authored paper or
b) Two (2) co-authored papers, per annum.
In other words, the submission(s) should not add up to more than one Publication Subsidy Unit per author per annum as per DHET Policy document on research outputs. Acta will be going onto an online platform in 2019. Any additional papers to those originally submitted will be automatically rejected. The system will respond with: “You have exceeded the annual submission limit”. This rule applies to both General Editions and Special Editions. However, there is a caveat to the above new guidelines on number of papers submitted by one author (or co-authors) per annum, in that if a submitted article has been accepted for publication a new submission may be made but again on the understanding that such submission will be placed in the review system for processing only in the following publication year. The Guidelines can be found at: http://www.crimsa.ac.za/docs/Notification_for_Change_of_Guidelines_from_15October_2018.pdf
2018 JOURNAL EDITIONS Acta Criminologica (31(1)/2018) The e-journal edition was emailed to all paid-up members with those with hardcopy subscription due to receive their copies by post shortly. This edition contained an editorial and ten articles.

NEWS BRIEFS
THE CRIMSA INAUGURAL EMERGING RESEARCHERS’ COLLOQIUM, 27 SEPTEMBER 2018 This very first emerging researchers’ colloquium, in the history of CRIMSA, attended by 30 delegates from 8 universities across the country was chiefly facilitated by Prof L. Artz. The objectives of the interactive discussion broken down into three sessions were as follows:
For emerging and early career criminology scholars to discuss the challenges they face in research, academic writing and publishing.
To, through open but structured discussion, explore what these challenges are as well as ways in which these challenges might be addressed.
To discuss opportunities for research, publishing and editing.
For participants to reflect on the future of Acta Criminologica and to learn about the publishing process.
At the end of the sessions evaluation forms were handed out to all the delegates and below is a graphical summary of the feedback:
Overall, delegates expressed that the colloquium met their expectations. Some delegates, stated that their expectations were exceeded. Recommended was that there is a need for more of these workshops. It was also pointed out that the time allocated (1 day) was too short and it was suggested that in future the colloquium should be spread through at least two to three days to avoid cramping of too much information in only one day. Well done to all who were involved in putting this auspicious event together and we hope that this is the start of the many transformation initiatives to follow.

POSTGRADUATE STUDENTS
DEPARTMENT OF CRIMINOLOGY & CRIMINAL JUSTICE, UNIVERSITY OF LIMPOPO Kgosimore, D.L. Educators as victims on workplace violence in selected secondary schools in Capricorn District of the Limpopo Province, South Africa. (PhD Criminology, UL) (Supervisor: Prof C. Roelofse). Abstract David Leepile Kgosimore investigated the phenomenon of violence in the workplace, which is currently not recognised as an occupational health and safety hazard in the occupational health and safety legislation in South Africa. The study focused on educators as victims of learner-perpetrated workplace violence. The results of the study showed that both physical and non-physical (verbal/psychological) violence by learners posed a threat to the health and safety of teachers. The
10
study found similar outcomes of violence for both direct and indirect victims. They reported stress, burnout, job dissatisfaction, and stress-related ill health. These consequences precipitated the teachers’ intentions to take early retirement or to quit the profession. The conclusion that is drawn from the findings of this study is that the current pieces of legislation, as well as supporting regulations and policies and procedures, are inadequate in dealing effectively with learner violence against teachers. Therefore, this study proposes an amendment to the Occupational Health and Safety Act to recognise violence as an occupational health and safety hazard, and to make employers accountable for the provision of a safe and healthy work environment for their employees. The study also proposes a model that may be implemented to prevent learner-perpetrated violence against teachers at a primary, secondary, and tertiary level.
DEPARTMENT OF POLICE PRACTICE, UNIVERSITY OF SOUTH AFRICA Van Der Watt, M. Investigating human trafficking for sexual exploitation: From ‘lived experiences’ towards a complex systems understanding. (PhD Criminal Justice, UNISA). (Supervisor: Prof R Snyman). Abstract Human trafficking for sexual exploitation, as the most documented type of trafficking both internationally and in South Africa, was the focus of this study as it poses significant challenges to response efforts whilst remaining a crime of vast impunity. At the centre of this study was the researcher’s curiosity-infused endeavour to understand the lived experiences of multipronged stakeholders who have first-hand experience of the investigation into human trafficking for sexual exploitation. A qualitative approach and the use of hermeneutic phenomenology within a broader postmodernist and constructivist positioning served as the catalyst for generating novel insights. Numerous formal and informal conversations over the 5-year research period, site visits to multiple sex trade locations around South Africa and 91 in-depth and unstructured interviews with participants from 15 different vantage points were conducted. Five themes were identified from participants’ lived experiences as they related to the investigation of human trafficking for sexual exploitation. These were Theme 1: Sex Trade, Human Trafficking and Organised Crime; Theme 2: Combating Human Trafficking for Sexual Exploitation; Theme 3: Victims of Human Trafficking for Sexual Exploitation; Theme 4: Corruption and Compromise; and Theme 5: The Social Context and Scope of the Problem. A rich and in-depth presentation of participants’ lived experiences from an emic point of view was made. Knowledge generated include the revelation of problematic claims by preservationists around the nature of the sex trade in South Africa, insights into complexities intrinsic to human trafficking for sexual exploitation and multi-layered challenges associated with investigations into the crime. At the apex of the study was the deconstruction of complex systems theory and its application to the phenomenological essence of participants’ lived experiences. A proposed application of the theory was suggested for a more agile, robust and effective multipronged investigation strategy to combat human trafficking for sexual exploitation. A strong argument is made for a ‘whole’ and non-reductionist approach to investigations that continuously considers both the complexity of the crime and the day-to-day realities of the stakeholders who contribute to the multipronged investigation into human trafficking for sexual exploitation.
11
DEPARTMENT OF CRIMINOLOGY & SECURITY SCIENCE, UNIVERSITY OF SOUTH AFRICA Campher, S.F. The crime threat posed to South Africa by foreign migrants (MTech Security Management, UNISA) (Supervisor: Prof A. Minnaar) Abstract While undocumented foreign migrants are a very sensitive issue which should be handled in this way, the researcher looked at the refugee and asylum seeker process as well as the deportation of foreign migrants. From media reports and interviews, it was clear that the porous border line, corrupt officials at the government offices that deal with immigration as well as corrupt officials at the borders are the biggest contributing factors to undocumented migrants being involved in crime in South Africa. A number of crimes involving foreign migrants were discussed such as fraudulent documentation, illegal mining, trafficking in persons and smuggling of migrants, drug dealing and drug trafficking, car hijackings, rhino poaching as well as foreigner-on-foreigner violence. Recommendations made by the researcher and received from experts showed that the only solution to the involvement of undocumented foreign migrants in crime in South Africa is zero tolerance, the eradication of corruption and the improvement of porous borders. It is also believed that if the conditions in neighbouring countries are improved, South Africa will have fewer undocumented foreign migrants who enter and make a living by committing crimes. Consideration should also be given to imprisoning repeat offenders who unlawfully re-enter the country. The African Union (AU) should assist with the problem as it is a security threat to the region and not just to South Africa.

CORRECT REFERENCING OF THE SOUTH AFRICAN CONSTITUTION
There is somewhat confusion regarding the correct way of referencing in a journal article of the 1996 South African Constitution. Previously the 1996 South African Constitution Act was referenced as:
South Africa. 1996. Constitution of the Republic of South Africa, Act 108 of 1996. But this was substituted by s.1(1) of the Citation of Constitutional Laws, 2005 (Act No. 5 of 2005) as the following: South Africa. 1996. Constitution of the Republic of South Africa 1996. Note the absence of the term ‘Act’ or an Act number in the title. The pdf of the Constitution is available at: http://www.justice.gov.za/legislation/constitution/SAConstitution-web-eng.pdf
