Abstract

Nigeria is currently confronted with a number of security challenges, originating from forces of religious extremism. Boko Haram is an epitome of such security challenge that has continuously destabilized the Nation’s security. It is on this ground this research work was deemed necessary to try and de-mystify the challenges of de-radicalization. The research work studied religious extremism, with focus on its causes, upon which the challenges of de-radicalizing extremists were identified. In line with the research findings, the researchers drafted measures in form of recommendations that are deemed most suitable. Ultimately, having exploited both primary and secondary sources, the researchers adopted a mixed-methodology for data analysis and came to the conclusion that Islam or Christianity in their entirety do not sanction any form of violence. As such, other factors such as socialization, economy, politics etc were explored as causative factors and these formed a base for data collection and analysis, as well as the veritable recommendations proffered to stem the deadly scourge of violent extremism and terror ravaging Nigeria and the West African sub-region.

Abstract

Juvenile delinquency comes in many forms-one of which is theft. This delinquency is a social phenomenon with a continuation of criminology. Juvenile crimes are a major concern because children are generation of thenation. Children who commit criminal Acts certainly have both internal and external causes. The treatment of child criminals is part of the policy as a child protection effort as a form of law enforcement. Criminology plays an important role in this case because it is also called criminal sociology because it is the study of humans in its opposition to certain social norms. Criminology examines social symptoms in the field of crime occurring in the community or with the intent that the defendant has committed these crimes.

Abstract

The global quest to fight terror worldwide cannot be over emphasised as extremists and non -state actors continue to ravage the ungoverned spaces opening up around the globe. Consequently this work is an evaluation of the use of ICT in counter terrorism efforts in Nigeria as a fledgling democracy. The study reviewed the challenges and prospects of the application of ICT to counter terror in a country where Boko Haram, ISWAP, and other militant groups have continue to challenge the legitimacy and territorial integrity of the Nigerian state. The work used the mixed method –comprising qualitative and quantitative analytical efforts and found out that for the Nigerian State to make sustainable impacts in her counter terrorism efforts ICT should be the pivot. In the same vein, the study advocated adequate training and sustainable Information Technology policy and culture that will encourage the development of substantial capacity to drive an ICT-driven counter terrorism in a world full of rapidly mutating terrorism.

Abstract

In the face of escalating global terrorism threats, nations worldwide have grappled with the imperative to enact and amend legislation aimed at preventing, detecting, and prosecuting acts of terrorism. This paper conducts a comprehensive and critical examination of legislative responses to terrorism, with a focus on their efficacy, implications for civil liberties, and broader societal impacts. The research begins by analysing the evolution of counterterrorism laws across diverse jurisdictions, emphasizing the shifting landscape of security concerns and the subsequent legal adjustments. It scrutinizes the core features of these legislative measures, including preventive detention, surveillance, intelligence gathering, and the definition of terrorism offenses. A critical analysis is employed to assess the balance between security imperatives and the protection of individual liberties, scrutinizing the potential for abuse, discrimination, and erosion of due process. Case studies from various countries illuminate the real-world consequences of counterterrorism legislation, shedding light on the impact on marginalized communities, legal frameworks, and international human rights standards. The paper also explores the effectiveness of oversight mechanisms, judicial review, and safeguards incorporated within these legislative frameworks to curb potential abuses and protect against overreach. Furthermore, the study considers the role of technology, intelligence-sharing agreements, and international cooperation in shaping legislative responses to terrorism. It aims to provide a nuanced understanding of the challenges and successes in addressing the complex interplay between security concerns and the preservation of fundamental rights. This critical review seeks to contribute to the ongoing dialogue on counterterrorism policy by offering insights into the multifaceted implications of legislative responses. The paper concludes with recommendations for fostering a balanced approach that upholds both security imperatives and the foundational principles of democracy.

Abstract

Interpretation of legal guidelines can vary widely-relying at the occasions dealing with a rustic and its political structure-in different words, whether or not it's miles an autocracy or democracy. Acts of terrorism were described as moves intentionally fascinated by malice and the purpose to destabilize or wreck the essential political, constitutional, financial and/or social structure. The paper finds out that the country's anti-terrorism legislation is critical. The key law under consideration is the Terrorism Prevention (Amendment) Act 2013. The paper strongly suggests that in order for the Nigerian government to fulfil its counter-terrorism objectives, it must change its attention to tackling the underlying fundamental causes of terrorism. Furthermore, the work suggested that, for long-term sustainable solutions, the opportunity to engage-and address the concerns of-the entire population, including marginalized segments of the population who offer passive resistance to terrorist and outlaw groups, is at the heart of a successful counter-terrorism campaign. Most individuals are inclined to approve such a strategy if they can see evidence of success and can envisage even modest but progressive changes. It is only by their active participation and collaboration will the political leadership be able to capture the hearts and minds of the people, particularly Nigeria's youth, and act on the enormous prospects for Nigeria's economic, social, and intellectual advancement.

Abstract

Indonesian Government confronts a multifaceted challenge in repatriating former ISIS members, necessitating a delicate equilibrium between advocacy, citizenship status, and human rights principles. International conventions uphold the fundamental right to nationality, articulated in Article 15 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, yet over 500 former ISIS members from Indonesia remain stranded in Syria, having illegally departed and destroyed their official documentation. While several countries in Southeast Asia and Europe have undertaken repatriation efforts under rigorous conditions, Indonesia faces a quandary. These individuals do not qualify as People with Social Welfare Problems under domestic law, complicating their reintegration. This classification divergence conflicts with international obligations requiring nations to accept and restore nationality to their citizens, notwithstanding their affiliation with extremist groups not recognized as refugees by the UNHCR. This paper delves into the legal and humanitarian imperatives compelling Indonesia to address this issue. It examines international frameworks and national legislation to argue for the necessity of repatriation, while also exploring the preventive and repressive measures Indonesia employs. Balancing the imperative to safeguard human rights with national security concerns presents a formidable task, demanding a nuanced approach that ensures compliance with international standards while safeguarding domestic stability and security.

Abstract

Perppu Number 2 of 2017 on Amendments to Law Number 17 of 2013 on Social organizations is an example of a legal product where there is a relationship between Law and Politics. With this Perppu, the government has disbanded one of the social organizations, namely Hizbut Tahrir Indonesia (HTI), which was deemed not in accordance with Pancasila and the 1945 Constitution and wanted to change the state's ideology. The Perppu on Social Organizations issued by the government was promulgated by the People's Representative Council (DPR) on November 22 2017, but there are several factions that still reject the law. After observed, it is known that the factions that agree to the promulgation of the Perppu are government parties and those that reject it are political parties. opposition. Apart from that, we know that social organizations are one of the wings of politics, which are very effectively used to boost the votes of political parties and mobilize the masses. This research aims to examine legal and political relations in Government Regulation in Lieu of Law (Perppu) Number 2 of 2017 on Amendments to Law Number 17 of 2013 on Social organizations. The research results show that there are several substances in the Perppu that have given rise to controversy in society regarding criminal sanctions and the dissolution of social organizations. All legal products, including this Perppu, are not neutral; rather, they contain interests and biases, highlighting the close relationship between law and politics.

Abstract

Abstract Twenty-first Century intelligence issues involve uncertainty, mysteries, and risk. This differs from the 20th Century paradigms of security, secrets, and prevention. Analysis of current complex issues requires its practitioners’ novel approaches including a productively imaginative process of inquiry. Questions analysts ask not only serve as devices for attracting existing evidence, but also as devices for generating new evidence not presently considered. In this way, analysts meticulously examine complex issues and aided by technology, are predisposed to creating novel actionable intelligence and preventing strategic surprises. Normatively, this brand of reasoning is at odds with how most people, including intelligence analysts naturally think, as people seek to confirm the first answer to a problem they discover, selectively use evidence to support that position even when there are compelling pieces of evidence that an alternative hypothesis may actually be the correct one. That people routinely fall prey to such poor thinking is well documented and indeed, most commercial advertisers strive to take advantage of this, so do adversaries. One element of most intelligence failures includes poor thinking on the part of analysts. Poor thinking which adversaries usually take advantage of. So how can analysts avoid such thinking? One solution is to teach intelligence analysts to think critically. Critical thinking therefore provides structure to the reasoning processes that identify for analysts where they are most likely to go astray. It offers a means for self-reflective reasoning that leads to improved thinking. If such thinking is aided by structured analytic techniques, then analysts will, and do improve on how they resolve security-laden issues with clarity and effective response.

Abstract

This empirical paper examined support roles for communities and the challenges, risks, and barriers facing them in the reintegration of children, women and families returning from Internally Displaced Persons (IDP) camps in North-east Nigeria. The methodology adopted by this study was a qualitative research method namely phenomenological research design that used a series of semi-structured Key Informant Interviews (KII) and Focused Group Discussions to gather data for the study. For the interviews, a semi-structured interview was adopted. Data analysis was done using the Thematic Analysis approach. The findings of the study identified the key support needs of children, women, and family IDP returnees to include local community/family support, psychological/counselling support, schooling support, economic support, and whole-of-family support, among others. The results also identified key roles for communities in supporting comprehensively and ensuring the reintegration efforts of the IDP returnees.  The findings also highlighted that the communities need to provide significant support to the efforts at reintegration of the IDP returnees in terms of resources. Finally, the study recommends strong empowerment of the communities through information sharing and the provision of capacities and resources. The study also recommends that stakeholders strive to forge a strong bond of partnership that sees both the government and community role-players as important equal partners and co-drivers of the reintegration intervention.

Abstract

This paper is an elucidation of the intricate challenges of nation building and intelligence reforms in transitional democracies where there are inherent contradictions of the imperatives of democratic ethos vis a vis intelligence reforms to create a credible balance of modern societies, with a specific focus on Nigeria. It is the position of this paper that the country's post-colonial hangovers have greatly impacted the national capacity to establish and nurture a dynamic template for the establishment of a robust and effective intelligence architecture. The consequence therefrom is a highly ineffective national security and democratic consolidation. The methodological thrust of the paper is a historical review of the political economic context of Nigeria's intelligence apparatus, the challenges of reforming it, and the consequential implications for nation building gathered logically from secondary sources. It concludes by highlighting the need for a comprehensive overhaul of the intelligence sector, anchored on democratic values and the rule of law.
