Abstract

Public violence is defined as consisting in the unlawful and intentional commission by a number of people acting in concert of acts of sufficiently serious dimensions that are intended to forcibly disturb the public peace or security or to invade the rights of others (J Burchell Principles of Criminal Law 5ed (2016) 777. See also SV Hoctor 'Criminal Law' in WA Joubert (3ed) The Law of South Africa vol 11 (2017) para 189). This definition is substantially similar to that which is also advanced by Snyman (in CR Snyman Criminal Law 6ed (2014) 311).
