EXAMINING THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN ENDBADGOVERNANCE PROTEST AND INCREASE IN CRIME RATE ( A CASE STUDY OF KANO STATE)
Chapter One: Introduction
1.1 Background of the Study
The EndBadGovernance protests, which began in Nigeria in July 2024, were fueled by widespread frustration over economic hardship and perceived failures in governance. In various regions, these protests have not only disrupted daily life but have also had broader social implications, including potential increases in crime rates. Kano State, a key region in northern Nigeria, provides a significant case study for examining this relationship due to its socio-economic dynamics and the intensity of the protests. Social unrest, such as large-scale protests, can create conditions conducive to increased criminal activity. Factors such as weakened law enforcement, economic instability, and social discontent may contribute to rising crime rates during periods of protest. Understanding how these factors interact in Kano State can offer insights into the broader implications of social movements on public safety.
Investigating the relationship between the EndBadGovernance protests and crime rates in Kano State is crucial for understanding the impact of social unrest on public security. This study aims to shed light on how protests can influence criminal behavior and to identify potential factors contributing to such changes. This study focuses on examining the relationship between the EndBadGovernance protests and changes in crime rates in Kano State, exploring how the protests may have influenced criminal activities and identifying underlying factors.
1.2 Statement of the Problem
While there is evidence of increased criminal activity during periods of social unrest, specific studies linking the EndBadGovernance protests to changes in crime rates in Kano State are limited. The problem addressed by this study is the need for a comprehensive analysis of how these protests have impacted crime rates in the region.
This study seeks to provide insights into the nature of the relationship between the protests and crime rates, including identifying contributing factors and the broader implications for public safety.
1.3 Objectives of the Study
1.4 Research Questions
1.5 Significance of the Study
This study is significant as it provides a detailed examination of how social movements, specifically the EndBadGovernance protests, can influence crime rates in a specific region. Understanding this relationship is crucial for law enforcement, policymakers, and community leaders in developing strategies to address public safety concerns during periods of unrest.
The findings will contribute to broader discussions on the socio-economic impacts of protests and provide valuable insights for managing and mitigating crime in similar contexts.
1.6 Scope and Delimitation of the Study
