Various approaches ranging from very sophisticated near-military interventions to engaging with communities are currently employed to reduce the levels of wildlife crime in South Africa. A methodology being investigated is the use of a whole-of-society approach. This paper investigates the community analysis part of the whole-of-society approach that was used to reduce the levels of wildlife crime. The indicators of vulnerability are discussed based on research conducted by several authors and selected on the basis that these can be obtained from generally available data such as census data. Indicators linked with high lev-els of risk are identified and can then be used to improve the livelihoods of com-munities next to game parks in the hope of reducing their vulnerability towards be coerced into wildlife crime by criminal syndicates.enWildlife crimesGame parksWhole-of-societyBook ChapterSchmitz, P., Gonçalves, D.
