Book excerpt: Ahire (criminology, Ahmadu Bello U., Nigeria) recounts how the police under the British colonial government played a major role in the economy, public order, and hygiene. They protected foreign, extractive enterprises, high taxes, and low wages; helped displace indigenous authorities by the central state with foreign-determined boundaries; and enforced hygienic standards to prevent the spread of disease, which also facilitated the diffusion of European moral and religious concepts.

Book Synopsis Corruption, harassment and injustice. Unlawful conduct of the Nigerian police towards civilians by : Odey Robert
Download or read book Corruption, harassment and injustice. Unlawful conduct of the Nigerian police towards civilians written by Odey Robert and published by GRIN Verlag. This book was released on 2017-03-03 with total page 30 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Polemic Paper from the year 2017 in the subject Sociology - Law and Delinquency, grade: A.1, , language: English, abstract: It is quite regrettable that police personnel had for long dropped their core duties for the unusual. Corruption is synonymous with them. Civilians beget undue intimidation, harassment, extortion, injustice and jungle justice, molestation, wanton killing and all sorts of plagues from the police. The police have become irresponsible, extremely corrupt and a nuisance. They treat the poor differently from the rich. What is quite most shocking is the fact that all bids to sanitise the Nigerian Police Force have been futile. This makes one wonder whether the personnel have become above the law, or whether there are no practical measures to address the scourging issues from the police to civilians as well as the society as a whole. These and more have been attested by several studies, scholars and our respondents. Worried by the above issues, which constitute plagues to civilians and the society at a large, this paper rises to examine the plagues, and rouse the attention of the government, police authorities and all to halt these rising issues. It calls on the government and police authorities in particular to permanently check these issues through efficacious and operational legislations against any unethical and unprofessional acts of police personnel, sparing no defaulters. It also recommends that the Police Acts should be reviewed. The conflict theory of crime and the neo-Marxist political economy approach ground the study. The study concludes that police plagues are on the increase because the excesses of police personnel are yet to be checked appropriately and duly. The non-participant observation and intuition are the primary sources employed, while textual materials like journals, textbooks, monographs, serials, newspapers, magazines and the internet constitute the secondary sources.

This book was released on 2021-04-08 with total page 98 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Master's Thesis from the year 2017 in the subject Organisation and administration - Public safety and order, grade: 3,75, Covenant University, language: English, abstract: This study examined the prominent role played by the Nigeria Police in the security of lives and properties, and how their actions or inactions influence the development of the society. Its primary focus is on the fact that security is the major determinant of the development of any society. It also critically examined the role of the Nigeria Police in protecting the security image of the Country. It ramified the concepts of national security and national development, how they are intertwined and linked them to the Nigerian society. This study employed secondary data as books journals, textbooks, newspapers and magazines were consulted. The study observed the causes of the ineffectiveness of the Nigeria police, it evaluated the issues raised and concluded that in curbing the menace of insecurity, a pro-active reaction of the generality of the Nigerians and not the Nigeria Police or government alone, would go a long way in creating a more conducive environment for national development to thrive.
Book Synopsis The Police in a Federal State by : Kemi Rotimi
Download or read book The Police in a Federal State written by Kemi Rotimi and published by College Press Publishers (ZW). This book was released on 2001 with total page 308 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The author is a lecturer in history at Obafemi Awolowo University, Nigeria. While there has been much scholarly study of the Nigeria Police Force controlled by the Federal Government, this is the first comprehensive study of the origins, development, organisation, role and demise of the Native Authority/Local Government Police Forces in Nigeria. It clarifies many of the grey areas about their history and essence, and informs the current debate about who should own and control the police in a federal state. From early in colonial times the armed Nigeria Police Force operated nationally; whilst the Native Authority/Local Government Police Forces also operated in the Northern and Western Regions. They were abolished on the advent of military rule in 1966. The author believes that the principle of federalism should govern the owning and control of the police in a democratic, federal nation. But crucially he illustrates how ignorance of the true history of the local police forces has clouded the debate about the desirability, or otherwise, of liberalising the control of the police in a democratic, federal state like Nigeria in the 21st century.

Book Synopsis Classify, Exclude, Police by : Laurent Fourchard
Download or read book Classify, Exclude, Police written by Laurent Fourchard and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2021-04-19 with total page 308 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: b”CLASSIFY, EXCLUDE, POLICE‘Laurent Fourchard’s deep, first-hand knowledge of the history and contemporary politics of Nigeria and South Africa forms the basis of an insightful and compelling analysis of how states produce invidious distinctions among their people and at the same time how political linkages are forged between state and society, elites and subalterns, bureaucratic structures and personal relations.’ Frederick Cooper, Professor of History, New York University, USA ‘Violence, control, police and political order are essential dimensions of metropolis. In this exceptional book, Laurent Fourchard compares decentralised exercises of authority in providing vivid analysis of exclusion of youth and migrants, policing and riots, politics of “Big men” and fine-grained blurring between bureaucracy and society. A masterpiece of urban politics.’ Patrick Le Galès, Dean of Urban School, Sciences Po Paris, France ‘This book is a major contribution to rethinking urban politics from the experiences of African cities. Based on detailed historical analysis of South Africa and Nigeria, Fourchard recalibrates the actors, stakes and terms of urban politics around African-centred concerns.’ Jennifer Robinson, Professor of Geography, University College London, UK The cities of South Africa and Nigeria are reputed to be dangerous, teeming with slums, and dominated by the informal economy but we know little about how people are divided up, categorised and policed. Colonial governments assigned rights and punishments, banned categories considered problematic (delinquents, migrants, single women, street vendors) and give non-state organisations the power to police low-income neighbourhoods. Within this enduring legacy, a tangle of petty arrangements has developed to circumvent exclusion to public places and government offices. In this unpredictable urban reality ??? which has eluded all planning ??? individuals and social groups have changed areas of public action through exclusion, violence and negotiation. In combining historical and ethnographic methods, Classify, Exclude, Police explores the effects and limits of public action, and questions the possibility of comparison between cities often perceived as incommensurable. Focusing on state formation, urbanization, and daily lives, Laurent Fourchard addresses debates and controversies in comparative urban studies, history, political science, and urban anthropology. The book provides a systematic, comparative approach to the practices, processes, arrangements used to create boundaries, direct violence, and produce social, racial, gender, and`generational differences.

Book Synopsis Authoritarian Police in Democracy by : Yanilda María González
Download or read book Authoritarian Police in Democracy written by Yanilda María González and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2020-11-12 with total page 375 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In countries around the world, from the United States to the Philippines to Chile, police forces are at the center of social unrest and debates about democracy and rule of law. This book examines the persistence of authoritarian policing in Latin America to explain why police violence and malfeasance remain pervasive decades after democratization. It also examines the conditions under which reform can occur. Drawing on rich comparative analysis and evidence from Brazil, Argentina, and Colombia, the book opens up the 'black box' of police bureaucracies to show how police forces exert power and cultivate relationships with politicians, as well as how social inequality impedes change. González shows that authoritarian policing persists not in spite of democracy but in part because of democratic processes and public demand. When societal preferences over the distribution of security and coercion are fragmented along existing social cleavages, politicians possess few incentives to enact reform.
Book Synopsis The Nigerian Police-Public Relationship by : Charles Omole
Download or read book The Nigerian Police-Public Relationship written by Charles Omole and published by Winning Faith. This book was released on 2017-09-14 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Public perception of the police is an essential factor in their willingness to cooperate with the authorities in the fight against crime and criminality. But when the public dislikes the police and views them with suspicion and fear; the police has a harder work to do. Regardless of the number of officers employed by the police; it is impossible for the police to be everywhere. So the support of the general public is crucial to its ability to obtain good intelligence and build better intelligence picture of their communities. Human intelligence is still the most reliable core of any intelligence led policing effort. With the historical friction and mistrust between the police and the Nigerian people, cooperation with the police is seen as dangerous as it does not only expose you to reprisals but you could end up becoming the suspect as many have experienced. There also seem to be an apathetic attitude to public opinion by the police authorities with many (it seems) are too eager to please their political masters at the expense of public goodwill and perception. Evidently, it is the unlawful perception of police actions that make public trust more difficult to cultivate. Also, the police fondness for underselling their own achievements has exacerbated an already bad situation. Although this book is one of the by-products of a detailed three-year research into the Nigerian police, the research findings will be mentioned only where necessary. So the book will be a practical review of the police-public relationship in Nigeria, causes of the problems and possible solutions for improvement. We will explore tools needed to bring the police into the modern digital world our youths live in. How the police can better engage with the communities and more importantly how individual officers must become good ambassadors of the police institution through respect for the public and the rule of law in all they do. This book will surely help spark the needed debate and champion the creation of the roadmap for an improved public perception of the police and ensure effective community cooperation.

Book Synopsis Global Perspectives on Reforming the Criminal Justice System by : Pittaro, Michael
Download or read book Global Perspectives on Reforming the Criminal Justice System written by Pittaro, Michael and published by IGI Global. This book was released on 2021-06-25 with total page 380 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The often-tenuous relationship between law enforcement and communities of color, namely African Americans, has grown increasingly strained, and the call for justice has once again ignited the demand for criminal justice reform. Rebuilding the trust between the police and the citizens that they have sworn to protect and serve requires that criminal justice practitioners and educators collaborate with elected officials and commit to an open, ongoing dialogue on the most challenging issues that remain unresolved but demand collective attention and support. Reform measures are not limited to policing policies and practices, but rather extend throughout the criminal justice system. There is no denying that the criminal justice system as we know it is flawed, but not beyond repair. Global Perspectives on Reforming the Criminal Justice System provides in-depth and current research about the criminal justice system around the world, its many inadequacies, and why it urgently needs reformation. Offering a fully fleshed outline of the current system, this book details the newest research and is incredibly important to fully understand the flaws of the criminal justice system across the globe. The goals of this book are to improve and advance the criminal justice system by addressing the glaring weaknesses within the system and discuss potential reforms including decreasing the prison population (decarceration) and improving police/community relations. Highlighting topics that include accountability, community-oriented policing, ethics, and mass incarceration, this book is ideal for law enforcement officers, trainers/educators, government officials, policymakers, correctional officers, court officials, professionals, researchers, academicians, and students in the fields of criminal justice, criminology, sociology, psychology, addictions, mental health, social work, public policy, and public administration.
