dc.description.abstractThe major aim of the study was to find out factors that promote or hinder success in New-entry constables within South African Police Service Basic Training Institutions. The Total sample was comprised of 316 participants that were chosen from two Basic Training Institutions in Gauteng and Kwa-Zulu Natal Provinces. With the help of the Institutions Officials, the researcher was able to use convenience sampling technique in selecting the respondents. From the themes it became evident that unsuccessful trainees cannot cope with the disciplinary measures which are applied on trainees. Interviews with the focus groups produced the following themes as causes of poor performance: failure to approach instructors, insufficient time to relax, fear of failure and other factors which are stated in chapter five. Ability to work independently, study group support, satisfactory accommodation, enough time to relax and other factors were identified as promoting trainees academic performance. A need arose for the establishment of an intervention programme aimed at addressing the common factors that lead to trainees’ failure at South African Police Basic Training Institution.en_US
