Abstract

My research investigates how technologically enhanced community policing (CP) approach can curb crime and insecurity in Nigeria, by efficiently integrating communications and surveillance systems. In order to achieve this, I have conducted a narrative literature review to understand the current state of community policing in Nigeria, and two systematic literature reviews; firstly to comprehensively understand trust and relationship issues between Nigerian police and the citizens, and secondly to identify technologies used in community policing since inception and how each has fared, as to gain better design insight and direction. Also, I have conducted a survey and interview with 1200 and 18 Nigerian citizens respectively, and a separate interview with 6 Nigerian police commissioners representing the 6 geopolitical zones of the country, through which I gathered relevant data as regards the use of technologies in Nigeria to reduce crime and insecurity. The outcome of the survey and interviews informed a design of a novel body-worn device, integrated with a mobile application for real-time information dissemination. My research findings will produce a tool that will improve community policing in Nigeria and lower insecurity and crime rates therein.
