https://globalresearchnetwork.us/index.php/ajshr/article/view/2705
<p>Crime control is a critical component of ensuring a safe and secure environment, especially in public universities. As institutions of higher learning, public universities in Nigeria's South-South Geopolitical Zone are not immune to crime-related concerns that might impede access to excellent education. To successfully address these concerns, numerous crime control strategies have been devised and implemented. The purpose of this study is to examine and assess these approaches, taking into account their success and consequences for public university campuses in Nigeria's South-South geopolitical zone. The study aims at making a critical analysis of the crimes that occur in universities in south-south Nigeria. The objectives are to; find out the various types of crimes committed in public universities in South-South Geo-political zone of Nigeria and also to determine the strategies used in controlling crimes for sustainable development in public Universities in South-South Geo-political zone of Nigeria. The study looked at the concept of crime, crimes in universities, types of crime, causes of crime, consequences of crime and approaches to crime control. The instrument for data collection was a researcher designed 65-item questionnaire. The questionnaire was used to measure the relationship between policing and crime control in the universities in South-South Geo-political zone. The study concludes that, the ways various crimes committed could be controlled in the Universities in South-South Geo-political zone of Nigeria were warning against Alcoholism, punishing the misuse/unauthorized use of university documents, reporting illegal possession of fire arms, discouraging violent demonstrations and prosecuting armed robbers. Hence, the study recommends that surveillance cameras are a good start to ensuring that all activities are watched as this will deter perpetrators of crime from even thinking of committing a criminal act within the institution.</p> <p> </p> <p><strong>Keywords: </strong></p>Catherine Kaning Agbongiasede

https://globalresearchnetwork.us/index.php/ajshr/article/view/2706
<p>Public universities, being vibrant spaces with diverse populations, have become particularly vulnerable to these security threats. This necessitates the incorporation of sustainable development initiatives and the development of effective policing strategies within the public university system. The study aims at making a critical analysis of the crimes that occur in universities in south-south Nigeria with a view to effectively police the environment for effective teaching, learning and research to take place. The objective of this study amongst others is to determine the various methods of policing for sustainable development in Universities in South-South Geo-political zone of Nigeria. The study looked at the concept of policing, policing for sustainable development, challenges of policing in Nigeria, and methods of policing. Policing for sustainable development not only enhances the safety and security of public universities but also contributes to the achievement of sustainable development goals within the South-South geo-political zone of Nigeria. Through their actions, these institutions can serve as exemplars of sustainable practices, inspiring positive change in their communities and beyond. Hence, the study recommends amongst others that, public universities in south-south should establish a proactive policing strategy that addresses the unique security challenges faced by their campuses. This strategy should incorporate community-oriented policing principles, focusing on collaboration, engagement, and trust-building with the local community.</p>Catherine Kaning Agbongiasede
