10 PUBLIC VIOLENCE MONITORING AND MAPPING PROJECT Mapping public violence since January 2013 Copyright Institute for Security Studies 4 September
11 RATIONALE FOR THE PROJECT The challenges Data on and research into public violence has been ad hoc Not often publicly available Varies in scope, quality, credibility and reliability The need A publicly available, comprehensive & continually updated database of various types of public or inter-group violence The benefits Allow for a better understanding of patterns, trends & possible correlations between various forms of public violence and other variables This would enable all role players, including state organs, to design multi-faceted and appropriate responses to better manage, if not prevent, such incidents Copyright Institute for Security Studies 4 September
12 OBJECTIVE To systematically track the nature and extent of violence resulting from community based protests, labour strikes, vigilantism, political conflict and other crowd or inter-group activity The long-term project aim is to support the identification of appropriate responses that reduce and prevent these forms of violence Copyright Institute for Security Studies 4 September
13 METHODOLOGY 1. Manual tracking of 95+ media sources online 2. Development of database and variables 3. Manual capturing of information 4. Coding of information 5. Geocoding of all incidents 6. Verification of information 7. Validation of database 8. Mapping of incidents based on geocodes 9. Analysis of data 10. Ongoing refinement of variables and codes Copyright Institute for Security Studies 4 September

21 AN INTERNATIONAL PERSPECTIVE OF SOCIAL UNREST Social unrest is: Protests that are peaceful and violent demonstrations The intensity can be measured by the number of demonstrations, riots, armed infringements and strikes within a year Social Unrest: A Risk Perspective OECD 2012 An expression of collective social dissatisfaction with the political system Can take the form of conventional (e.g. voting) and unconventional political participation (e.g. signing petitions, demonstrations, boycotts, blockades and wild strikes) Whether regarded as unconventional is dependent on time period, location and culture Is a gradual process and happens in steps Source: article/download/36/85 Every step leads to a greater probability of escalation towards more unconventional forms of protest Copyright Institute for Security Studies 4 September
22 LADDER OF SOCIAL UNREST Possible De-escalation Degree of social unrest Possible De-escalation Communication of dissatisfaction Possible De-escalation Organisation Mobilisation Acts of political violence Type of Action Source: OECD; EU-VRi Copyright Institute for Security Studies 4 September
23 DRIVERS, DEGREES AND INDICATORS According to Renn et al (2012) drivers are also stage based and can be categorised as follows: Stage 1: relative deprivation of resources (gap between expectations and perceived reality) and the social amplification processes within society Stage 2: availability of organisational capacity to form protest groups Stage 3: Resources and opportunities for mobilising people Stage 4: Sufficient frustration to legitimise violence Potential for de-escalating social unrest: 1. Monitoring drivers (some of which may relate to the electoral process, some not) 2. Early inclusion of protest movement organisations in policy articulation and decision making (dialogue spaces) 3. Involvement of neutral/highly respected institutions/individuals for facilitating and agreement between protestors and public authorities. Copyright Institute for Security Studies 4 September
24 POTENTIAL TRIGGERS FOR ESCALATION/DE-ESCALATION Dissatisfaction & Low level of trust High expectation of response Large enough group Low level of access to resources Highly motivated individuals Trust / distrust in official authorities Resonance of cause of action among total population Attitude of leaders towards violence (latent or patent tolerance of violence) Responsiveness to grievances Media interest in issue Police action/response Official response after violence erupted Copyright Institute for Security Studies 4 September
25 DEVELOPING A FRAMEWORK TO MONITOR UNREST The OECD EU-Vri model is a useful basis for the development of an analytical framework of social unrest of which election related violence forms part. The South African local electorate appears to believe that voting helps and protest works : (Booysen 2007) Such a framework will help inform feasible policy options to help government role-players address social unrest, and manage its possible consequences. Seeing social unrest as a process of escalation it will be easier to identify the drivers and triggers. The framework needs to be adapted to the South African norms, values and political culture and tested to minimise arbitrary and subjective results. The framework will be a diagnostic tool as well as a tool that can identify triggers and drivers that can lead to escalation or de-escalation. The framework and the data is speculative and lack empirical verification but the data is being collected and analysed. At this stage, more robust data sources are required. Copyright Institute for Security Studies 4 September
26 WAY FORWARD 1. Refinement of methodology and data processes 2. Automation of media tracking after completion of exploratory phase 3. Building of a broad monitoring network in addition to media reports 4. Building of closer relationships with stakeholders 5. Further in-depth analysis of the nature of forms and drivers of public violence 6. Further in-depth survey of triggers and contributing factors 7. Development of appropriate responses to public violence in partnership with government and other stakeholders 8. Advocacy of appropriate responses to be incorporated into appropriate policy 9. Comprehensive tracking of protests and election-related violence during the 2016 local government elections and beyond Copyright Institute for Security Studies 4 September
