ABSTRACT
Crime prevention and control is an issue of concern to almost all societies in the globe, due to the frequent rise in the commitment rate of crime. This could be due to behaviourism developed by individuals in the society. This work on behaviourism, crime prevention and safety measures seeks to find out counselors perspective on the subject matter and how they relate to each other.
In this study, 20 counselors from the ministry of Education, the ministry of Youths and sports development and the ministry of women affairs and children development were used for the study.
In this work we found out that Behaviourism has an effect on crime rate.
We also discovered that Behavioural approach is an effective measure in crime prevention. From the findings we recommend that the government take guidance and counseling more seriously, and provide relevant trainings for the current counselors in other to use behavioural approach in crime prevention and safety measure.
