Abstract

This research investigated DNA profiling and crime management in Nigeria. The major objective of the study was to find out whether the Nigeria Police are aware of how to use DNA optimally as a source of evidence in the investigation process. In Nigeria, the Nigeria Police is one of the leading agencies statutorily charged with the responsibility of providing internal security through fighting of crime. The police does this job by undertaking criminal investigation with a view to collecting evidence to be used for courtroom prosecution of criminal suspects. Since 1930 the Nigeria Police was established, it has relied mainly on the traditional (old school) method of criminal investigations based on eye witness testimonies and statements, the investigators sense of judgement and experience. Overwhelming evidence from this research points to the fact that the said method has proven ineffective, as may unsolved crimes, wrongful prosecution or conviction of innocent criminal suspects and failed courtroom prosecution litter the performance profiles of the Nigeria Police. The study concluded that the capacity level of the Nigeria Police to collect and preserve the DNA evidence as part of the agency's criminal investigation process and use same for courtroom prosecution has significant effect on the effort it makes to fight crime through DNA profiling, and that the availability or non availability of sophisticated DNA technology in Nigeria has significant effect on the effort the Nigeria police makes to fight crime through DNA profiling. The availability or non availability of a central DNA database in Nigeria has significant effect on the efforts of the Nigeria police makes to fight crime through DNA profiling.

Abstract

The menace of terrorism the world over cannot be over emphasised as it remains the greatest existential threat facing mankind. All over the world, this nagging security quagmire has remained quite daunting. Consequently, countries around the world –advanced and developing have embarked on different shades of counter terrorism measures to stem this ugly scourge. In the light of the foregoing, this study is a modest evaluative and comparative study of a tale of two states-Pakistan and Nigeria in their quest to fight this ignoble menace. As countries with similar internal and external threats with significant challenges of governance and political stability, both countries have embarked on conscious counter terrorism measures ranging from socio-economic development programmes to de-radicalisation strategies. However, while the degrees of efficiency of counter terrorism measures varies between these two countries, the study shows that Pakistan appears to have made more concerted efforts than Nigeria, even though the threats are more magnified in Pakistan due to extensive international terrorist linkages in the country. What is more relevant here however is that both countries can learn from each other experiences while making the necessary adjustments to suit local realities bearing in mind that terrorism is more of a mind thing than mere tactical and operational form of militancy by non-state actors. In reaching the above proposition, the study relied on the content analysis of historical facts sourced from secondary sources but logically arranged to provide the required social science enterprise requirements while taking responsibility for any weakness therefrom.

Abstract

This study investigated examined the legal correlates of cybercrime management amongst higher institution students in Nigeria with special reference to some selected tertiary institutions in Delta State, Nigeria. A correlation approach of survey research design was adopted in this study. In order to address the problem of this study, seven research questions were raised and seven research hypotheses were formulated and tested at a .05 level of significance. This study revealed that the law can provide solutions to Cyber Crime management in Nigeria. Poverty is a factor responsible for cybercrime in Nigeria. The law can promote intellectual property and ensure privacy rights. There are existing laws that adequately address challenges relating to cybercrimes. The study revealed that youths who are mostly male are the major perpetrator of cyber-crimes and the crime can be committed at any time of the day. The study found that unemployment, poverty, absence of effectual law, and corruption are the major causes of cyber-crime in the study area. Based on the findings of this study, it was therefore recommended that collective vigilance detect and report to law enforcement agencies anyone suspected to be involved in cyber-crime. The Federal Government should empower the youths in terms of job creation and regularly engage the IT organizations to develop strategies to curtail cyber-crime.
