The report was published at a time when Smuts popularity was low and his detractors had more support. The South African National Party in retaliation created their own commission called the Sauer Commission. Its report suggested the exact opposite of the Fagan Commission, i.e segregation should continue and be implemented across all social and economic areas of life.

While the recent commissions and task forces reflect short-term concerns, the crime problems of both the 1967 Commission and its successors are part of a much longer social and historical trend that reflects foundational changes in American society.
The National Advisory Commission on Civil Disorders, chaired by Governor Otto Kerner and more popularly known as the Kerner Commission, was formed in 1967 to assess the causes of the urban riots in the U.S. in the 1960s.
