Bachelor Thesis from the year 2023 in the subject Politics - Region: Africa, grade: B, , course: Sociology, language: English, abstract: The aim of this study is to assess the efforts of the Nigerian Police Force and community members towards crime prevention in Bosso Local Government Area of Niger State. The objectives are to examine the collaboration between Nigerian Police Force and community members on crime prevention and control in Bosso Local Government Area, Niger State and to find out the role of community members towards crime prevention and control in the study area. Furthermore the paper wants to identify the challenges faced by the Nigerian Police Force towards crime prevention and control in the study area and to understand the problems faced by community members towards crime prevention and control in the study area. Crime in every society portrays a great effect capable of disturbing peaceful co-existence and development of the society. No one feels safe in a society that is characterized by criminality. For this, every society adopts measures it deems fit for addressing it. Crime itself is a fuzzy phenomenon as criminologist and sociologist contend with what action or inaction account for a crime as it is diverse, subjective, relative, and depends largely on perspectives, events or legal analysis. Regardless of these complexities, crime refers to a negation of what the law of a society states or an aberration of expected societal conduct. In recent years, the international community has recognized that development in general, and the achievement of the Millennium Development Goals (MDG) in particular are contingent on the establishment of safety and securities in societies. High level of violence in cities and communities are detrimental to social and economic progress as well as the well-being of citizens. As stated in the report of the Secretary General on the Rule of Law and Transitional Justice in Post Conflict Societies: "prevention is the first imperative of the Criminal Justice".

Master's Thesis from the year 2023 in the subject Law - Criminal process, Criminology, Law Enforcement, grade: 4.35, Ahmadu Bello University, course: Masters in Law and Criminal Justice, language: English, abstract: The inability of the Nigerian Police to control the increasing wave of crime has led to the proliferation of community policing in many parts of the country. Thus, this thesis was designed to examine the effects of community policing on crime prevention in Nigeria, with a focus on the Jos South local government area of Plateau State, Nigeria. In this study, four research objectives were derived and four research questions were asked. The target population was the youth, stakeholders and law enforcement agents in Jos South Local Government Area. Data was obtained through the quantitative method (questionnaires), as a cluster sampling technique was adopted in the selection of respondents. 250 respondents were sampled through descriptive survey design. The research was answered using mean and standard deviation analysis (statistical package for social sciences SPSS).

Community Policing is a policing system that proactively involves and engages the local communities in policing activities, from crime prevention, crime management to intelligence gathering. It is a policing paradigm that can be implemented differently in different communities, cities and nations as long as the community-centric approach is adopted in its overarching design. This flexibility of Community Policing has made its implementation difficult to comparatively capture since different nations will be doing different things all in the name of Community Policing. This factor has also made it easier in Nigeria for lip service to be paid to implementation when in fact nothing tangible happens in reality. Since the 1999 return to democratic rule; Nigerian Police has been discussing the implementation of Community Policing. Strategy after strategy documents have been produced; yet this form of policing is yet to be operationalised effectively in Nigeria. The void left by this failure has led to agitations for State Police or Local Police by many Nigerians. Meanwhile, the community perception of the police has deteriorated further in the years since 1999 and confidence in the Nigeria Police Force is at an all-time low. The strategies in this book will work effectively regardless of the structure of policing in Nigeria; so, in that sense, the book will always be relevant for policing Nigeria for decades to come.This book is deliberately written in such a way that all rank and file officers can read and understand it. It is a practical book that focuses concisely on how Community Policing can be delivered. The overwhelming focus of this book is on how the Nigerian Police can operationalise Community Policing in as quick a way as possible and with the least resources expended. The book is direct and straight to the point. My goal in this book is to provide a practical template on how Community Policing can be operationalised in Nigeria. After reading this book, the leadership of the police at all levels should be able to see some low hanging fruits of Community Policing implementation, they can adopt swiftly to improve community relations and public perception of the police. To the leadership of the Nigeria Police Force; I hope this book will spark additional creativity to see what is possible and improve the delivery of Community Policing in Nigeria for the benefit of all.

The phenomenon of crime is on the increase in Nigeria. The Nigeria Police Force has been a major institution or body charged with the prevention and control of crime in the country. Therefore, the book examines the evolution and development of the Nigeria Police Force (NPF) from the pre-colonial era to the present day; the strategies employed by the NPF to prevent and control crimes, the traditional mechanisms of prevention and control of crime in the country; partnership between the Nigeria Police and other agencies such as the Army, Immigration and Civil Defence; Police brutality, Police deviance and Police discretion and the effects on crime Prevention and Control. It also discusses the adoption of Community Policing as a strategy or programme of crime control; the use of Geographical Information Systems (GIS) in crime prevention and control as well as Police Psychology. The book is useful to Cadets in training, serving police officers, students of Criminology and Security Studies, correctional officers and the general public.

This book provides insight on the great diversity in community policing and crime prevention as they appear in countries around the world. Various chapters deal with countries that have established formal, professional police forces; are in transition from colonial status to independence; or are emerging democracies faced with the demands associated with major political and social change. All of these efforts are tied together with the recognition that the public needs to be involved in preventing crime. For individuals interested in the concept of community policing--and its implications around the globe.

Crime is often perceived as an urban issue rather than a problem that occurs in rural areas, but how far is this view tenable? This book explores the relationship between crime and community in rural areas and addresses the notion of safety as part of the community dynamics in such areas. Rural Crime and Community Safety makes a significant contribution to crime science and integrates a range of theories to understand patterns of crime and perceived safety in rural contexts. Based on a wealth of original research, Ceccato combines spatial methods with qualitative analysis to examine, in detail, farm and wildlife crime, youth related crimes and gendered violence in rural settings. Making the most of the expanding field of Criminology and of the growing professional inquiry into crime and crime prevention in rural areas; rural development; and the social sustainability of rural areas, this book builds a bridge by connecting Criminology and Human Geography. This book will be suitable for academics, students and practitioners in the fields of criminology, community safety, rural studies, rural development and gender studies.
