1. Introduction -- 2. Nigeria’s Urbanisation History, Trends, Drivers and Implications -- 3. The Criminal Justice System: Actors, Processes and Policies -- 4. Applicability of Traditional Environmental Criminological Theories in Developing Country Contexts -- 5. A Framework for Inter-City Comparative Analysis of Crime -- 6. Contemporary Configuration of Crime across Nigerian Cities -- 7. Crime Precipitators -- 8. Urban Crime Harm -- 9. Urban Crime Prevention and Control -- 10. Conclusion.

This book uses crime-science and traditional criminological approaches to explore urban crime in the rapidly urbanising country Nigeria, as a case study for urban crime in developing nations. In Africa’s largest democracy, rapid unmanaged growth in its cities combined with decaying public infrastructure mean that risk factors accumulate and deepen the potential for urban crime. This book includes a thorough explanation of key concepts alongside an examination of the contemporary configuration, dynamics, dimensions, drivers and potential responses to urban crime challenges. The authors also discuss a range of methodological techniques and applications that can be used, including spatial technologies to generate new data for analysis. It brings together history, theory, trends, patterns, drivers, repercussions and responses to provide a deep analysis of the challenges that confront urban dwellers. Urbanisation and Crime in Nigeria offers academics, researchers, governments, civil society organisations, citizens, and international partners a tool with which to engage in a serious dialogue about crime within cities, based on evidence and good practices from inside and outside sub-Saharan Africa.
