Should SA decriminalise victimless crimes? | Section 12 Initiative

With high unemployment and crime rates, South Africa faces a crucial decision. Advocate Julie Seton, Action SA’s Team FixSA Member for Justice and Constitutional Development explores the argument for decriminalising voluntary conduct and victimless crimes, such as sex work and marijuana possession. By decriminalising non-violent offences, government can redirect its focus and resources towards tackling violent crimes, creating a more effective and just legal system.
