Abstract
The Centre for Justice and Crime Prevention (CJCP) is running a five year early crime and violence prevention project in Walmer Township, Port Elizabeth, aimed at addressing risk factors for violence. In response to the call for proposals (CFP), the Human Sciences Research Council (HSRC) successfully submitted an application to conduct a scoping study to identify registered and unregistered ECD services and taverns and shebeens in Walmer Township, Port Elizabeth, South Africa (hereafter referred to as the 'study site'). This particular report will describe the mixed-method approach that we used to scope the ECD services in Walmer and will also present the findings of this study and emerging issues for CJCP to consider in the next phases of the early violence prevention project.-
