Violent victimisation in Lagos metropolis
Violence or its threats have been a part of many African cities since the end of the Cold War, when many African countries transited from military to civilian rule. While the incidence of organised crime and violent victimisation of innocent citizens is not new to many West African cities, the emergence of terrorist organisations, armed bandits, kidnappers and armed gangs in a city like Lagos has created new security challenges. The challenges in…

Through purposive sampling, it selected 12 in-depth interview respondents to obtain complementary qualitative data that were content analysed. The logistic regression analysis indicate…
Temporal dynamics of solidarity and corruption-reporting practices
This article reviews how citizens’ corruption-reporting practices have challenged some established assertions of the classical thoughts of Durkheim on solidarity to trigger ‘imodoye’ – the third-tier solidarity in Nigeria. Gleaning data from secondary sources, it acknowledges the disclosure-fostering bonds of the mechanical (first-tier) solidarity and the disclosure-suppressing anomie of the organic (second-tier) solidarity. The widely presumed c…

Crime-Reporting Practices Among Market Women in Oyo, Nigeria
Crime surveys of businesses have revealed that while crimes in which men were victims tend to be reported, those in which women were victims are likely to go unreported to the police. Understanding the reasons behind male reporting and female non-reporting is useful not only for collection of crime statistics but also for improving crime control competences of law enforcement agencies. This article examines the impact of crime involving market wo…
Gender Victimization
Badagry is the first community to receive the Christian religion in Nigeria. For this, every good reason exists to suppose that its coming into early contact with the missionaries should have caused the Ogu people to acquire a healthier understanding of fair play in the context of widowhood practices. Regrettably, they seem to respond more slowly to change in their attitudes to widows. Thus, despite the overwhelming presence of Christian relics i…
