ABSTRACT
This chapter focuses on race and policing in South Africa. It explores the way race correlates with lived experience on the basis of crime statistics, government policies, scholarly writings, and media accounts. The empirical part of the chapter compares the contours of police integrity among the three race groups in the sample. The analyses focus on potential similarities and differences in the views expressed by police officers self-identified by race regarding misconduct seriousness, appropriate and expected discipline, and willingness to report misconduct. The most compelling finding from our empirical research is that the integrity-related views of white and other non-white respondents were more similar than the views of white and black respondents.
