Abstract
This mixed, quantitative-qualitative study aimed to provide baseline information on South African citizens' levels of confidence in the criminal justice system as well as explore the reasons for variations in levels of confidence. This is an area which is distinctly under-researched and understood in the domestic context. This will serve as basis for ongoing monitoring and evaluation to determine dynamics in the both the nature and extent of confidence in the criminal justice system. This will be used to inform criminal justice policy which seeks to promote and sustain the legitimacy and effectives of the criminal justice system.-
