Chapter One: Introduction
1.1 Background of the Study
Hunters' associations in rural areas of Nigeria often play an important role in supporting formal security forces by providing intelligence, protecting communities, and acting as a first line of defense against threats like banditry and armed robbery. In Jalingo LGA, Taraba State, where rural insecurity is a growing concern, the involvement of hunters' associations in community security is increasingly significant. This study will appraise the role of these associations in enhancing rural security and their collaboration with formal security agencies.
1.2 Statement of the Problem
Despite their involvement in community security, the role of hunters' associations in rural security is often overlooked in formal security strategies. In Jalingo, while these associations are actively engaged in preventing crime, there is a lack of in-depth analysis of their effectiveness and the challenges they face. This study will evaluate their contributions to rural security and assess the need for greater institutional support.
