Community policing as a strategy for reduction of crime in Nigeria( a case study of Kano state)
ABSTRACT
This study sought to identify the the impact of Communityz policing as a strategy for reduction of crime in Nigeria( a case study of Kano state). The study was carried out in Jos. The study used to collect data. The quantitative data was processed and analysed using the Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) while the collected qualitative data was analyzed through content analysis. The study found that levels of adoption of community policing as a style of policing had a positive impact on crime rates. Police partnered in sharing information, investigating crimes, arresting and prosecuting criminals, gathering intelligence and acting on it, partnering with the society and making patrols which address and deter criminals from committing crimes.. Key factors that obstruct effective implementation of community policing in Kano were found to include low levels of basic mutual trust, lack of an enabling legislative and administrative environment, poor public image of police and declining police resources. The study recommends that the government strengthen the adoption of community policing as a style of policing through budgetary allocations, ensure an enabling legislative and administrative environment, increase police resources and foster sensitization on community policing.
