Abstract:
The current political changes in South Africa have focused attention on matters such as the availability of medical and psychiatric services for all. These services have been stretched to breaking point due to waves of crimes of violence which seem to go in tandem with the process of democratization. These questions are discussed and some possible inadequacies of the forensic sciences in the criminal justice system are considered.
