What predicts university students’ compliance with the law
Studies on police legitimacy, particularly from the developed western societies have shown that compliance with the law is primarily shaped by feelings that laws and legal authorities are legitimate and should be obeyed. However, we are unsure whether such findings would be consistent if tested among university students in a transitional society like South Africa where police-students relationship is driven by conflict, and where police misconduc…
A twin disaster
Managing a deadly pandemic in low- and middle-income countries (LMIC) is challenging. The task becomes tougher when there is an outbreak of an equally deadly disease. This is the present situation of Ghana, a low-resource country, that is confronted with the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic and cerebrospinal meningitis (CSM) outbreak. Apart from the resource constraint at both governmental and individual levels, such a situation affec…
