# The DA is demanding that Friday’s release of the police’s quarterly crime statistics include figures on gender-based violence and crimes against children. DA police spokesperson Lisa Schickerling says the long-delayed stats highlight the police’s collapse in accountability. Schickerling warns that omitting GBV and child crime data denies victims recognition and prevents proper resource allocation. She insists on full transparency and says anything less would be a failure to protect South Africa’s most vulnerable.
