# Parliament’s portfolio committee on Police says Statistics South Africa’s Governance, Public Safety and Justice Survey 2024/2025, highlights the worrying and inherent trust deficit between police and the broader community. According to the survey, housebreaking remains the most prevalent household crime in the country. About 132-thousand individuals experienced sexual offences over the past five years, an increase of 13.8-percent. Committee chairperson Ian Cameron says SAPS should use the statistics to enhance their efforts and adopt a data-driven approach to policing.
