QUESTION 1
Scenario A neighbourhood in Centurion has recently been experiencing several
housebreaking incidents. Consequently, they have contracted First-rate Security – where
you are a security manager - to assist in safeguarding their homes and neighbourhood
against burglars. As a prospective master’s student in Security Management at the
University of South Africa, you have decided to conduct research on housebreaking in this
neighbourhood. You are particularly interested in the incidents of housebreaking and the
security measures that residents in this neighbourhood are currently using. The objectives
of your study are to determine what security measures are in place and the effectiveness
thereof; to analyse the nature of the housebreaking incidents experienced in this
neighbourhood and to provide recommendations on security measures for the prevention
of housebreaking. Furthermore, you want to design a security awareness program to help
the residents of this neighbourhood better protect themselves and their property. Based on
the scenario provided, answer the following questions:
