dc.description.abstractThe focus of this article is the role of ex-offenders in the Community Work Programme (CWP) towards implementation of crime and violence prevention initiatives in the townships of Ivory Park and Orange Farm, South Africa. CWP was designed to provide an employment safety net to eligible, unemployed people by offering them regular work two days per week. Ex-offenders’ involvement in the CWP may have crime and violence prevention benefits. Their CWP work involves working with other CWP participants, with community members and with youth-at-risk through soccer initiatives and public campaigns against substance abuse, while facilitating their re-integration into communities.en
