Background to the study
Crime is defined as any conduct that is against the law and can result in punishment. Nigeria is a country where everything works in reverse. Depending on the nation, some crimes are punished by law. To be more specific, in our state (Enugu), several offences like as cheating, election rigging, theft, advance free frauds (419), and many others are on the rise. Any citizen who commits a crime may face punishment depending on how the state punishes their offenders due to negligence.
Ekahum (2015) oberved that the incidence of crime in Nigeria is so high that it will be impossible to identify the true perpetrators. However, the term crime now encompasses all activities that are adverse to the law and the principles of National Justice, since society has reduced crime to merely armed robbery.
Accordig to Crime results in the loss of life and property, as well as an overpowering sense of unease. These have important implications for democracy, economic growth, social capital, and general associational life. The high degree of crime undermines individual and community objectives for democracy, growth, human rights, and a good quality of life. Increased violent crime and delinquency is a prevalent feature of transitional countries. This has been attributed to the uncontrollable nature of change in its early stages, the demobilisation or dismantling of repressive security apparatuses used by previous authoritarian regimes in crime control, and the unequal socioeconomic opportunities brought about by economic liberalisation programmes.
The policies and techniques that governments have implemented to combat the rise in common crimes and disorders distinguishes countries in transition from one another. Countries that have spent more in social crime prevention and peaceful political solutions through open processes appear to have managed the growth in criminal deviance and dissatisfaction better than others. Shaw (2001), Shearing and Kempa (2001), Etannibi and Chukwuma (2005)
The Nigerian experience must be similar. The country's first four years of transitional democracy saw a perceived and genuine increase in violent crime and disorder, to the point where safety and security issues scored very high among residents' top worries. The rising prevalence of armed robbery created a paralysing fear, affecting the country's economic and social life. As a result of rising crime rates and severity, successive governments in the nation have tried, but failed, to implement a variety of crime-control measures since the early 1980s.
Following the implementation of Structural Adjustment Programs (SAP) in 1984, the country's labour market began to decrease significantly. This resulted in a huge number of youngsters looking for work in the current severe economic conditions. The existence of such a large number of idle youngsters, both talented and unskilled, and occasionally homeless, produced a fertile field for aberrant behaviour. This resulted in a surge in many sorts of criminality, including drug trafficking and misuse.
Based on the aforementioned, the researcher felt compelled to identify, characterise, and analyse trends in criminal activity in Enugu State, given the importance of the state to national development.
