1.6 JUSTIFICATION OF THE STUDY
Crime
is a priority concern in Nigeria. Of particular concern is the fact
that young people make up the largest group of victims of violent crime;
and that they are also the majority perpetrators of crime in our cities
(Omboto et al. 2013). Indeed, some young people are themselves both
victims and perpetrators of crime. Owerri crime prevention programmes
need to find innovative ways of addressing this duality.
Some aspects
of children’s behaviors, such as temperament, are established during
the first 5 years of life (Elizabeth & Laurence, 2008). This
foundation, coupled with children’s exposure to certain risk and
protective factors, influences the likelihood of children becoming
delinquent at a young age. However, the identification of these multiple
risk and protective factors has proven to be a difficult task. Although
no magic solutions exist for preventing or correcting child
delinquency, identifying risk and protective factors remains essential
to developing interventions to prevent child delinquency from escalating
into chronic criminality.
In a bid to ensure social development in
the country, as one of the major pillars in the Millennium Development
Goals and Nigeria’s Vision 2030, the government is putting up measures
to deal with crime in the country. Crime among the youth has attracted
attention as the government ratified conventions and developed laws to
deal with young criminal offenders. The information from this study may
help the government in developing more effective strategies in dealing
with criminal activities among the minors.
The information from this
study might also be useful to the general public in understanding the
increase in rate of criminal activities by the minors. The
identification of the Ivestigation of minors’ Ivestigation in
criminal behaviors may assist the parents and guardians in putting up
early measures to curb crime among the minors. Further the information
from this study could also assist the community and the society in
general in preventing and developing policies to deal with crime.
Crime
and ways to deal with crime has received a lot of attention from
researchers. However, most studies have focused on the prevention
measures of crime among adults (Makoha, 2008). Recently focus have
turned on crime among minors as it is generally agreed that preventing
criminal behaviors at early age will come a long way in reducing crime
in the country. The study on the Ivestigation of owerris’
Ivestigation in criminal behaviors in will therefore attract
researchers and academicians who are in need of educating more and
providing solutions to effective and efficient crime prevention and
reduction among minors. Hopefully, the information from the study will
also form a basis for other researchers and academicians who are willing
to carry out studies in the same field in Sub-Saharan Africa.
1.7 SCOPE OF THE STUDY
The
study was carried out in . The county was chosen by the researcher
following reports in the mainstream media in the month of December 2013
that a large number of youths are involved in crime in the county
(Gatonye, 2014). This was witnessed by several clashes in the county
that majorly involved the youths. Recent reports by the police also
indicate an increase in crime among the youths. Although this is a
scourge, according to the police, that is affecting the whole country,
studies have mainly focused on counties with major towns such as
Nairobi, Kisumu, Nakuru and Mombasa Counties.
