CHAPTER ONE
1.1
1.2 Statement of the Problem.
Many societies all over the world have had to contend with the
consequences of criminal activities, which include lives and properties
fear of the unknown, political instability, victimization by
conventional criminals, amongst others.(Fayeye, 2010.)
Even though a member of the society reports a crime to a law
enforcement officer, it would not be counted unless it is recorded in a
way that allows it to be incorporated into the crime statistics, as a
consequence, offending particularly minor offending, may be
significantly under counted in situations where law enforcement officers
are overloaded with work or do not perceive the offending as worth
recording. Some crimes reported are not done in a way that the actual
event of things is made known. These crimes lack uniformity, which
produce obvious difficulties in actually investigating and solving the
crimes that are reported. Another causal factor may include the time
frame of the crime. A firsthand account is relatively low. For example
by the time a robbery case is being reported, the robbers will probably
have fled the victims in the hospital, answering police questions if
any is around or even in the mortuary.
Certain behavior are labeled deviant which in actual fact may
not be, according to the criminal code of that particular society.
Members of the society (victims and witnesses), are most times ignorant
of criminal laws. When such behaviors are reported, they are more or
less unimportant. Crimes known to police (CKP), already certified as
reported may not be analyzed as desired by victims of such immoral acts.
Charges may be dropped, even when the perpetrator is arrested. Such is
the situation when there is lack of evidence. Another popular
incidence is the arrest of innocent persons in place of those that
actually committed the crimes. This maybe as a result of being in the
wrong place, at the wrong time.
Pleading guilty to a crime, lower than that which an offender
commits is another major problem. In most cases, it reduces the levity
of punishment and sentence becomes inproportionate to the actual crime
committed. Also among the problems associated with crime reporting, is
the dependency of skills on both the prosecuting counsel and defense
counsel, with convictions and acquaintances actually depending on the
professional skills of both counsels.
Another problem associated with the procedure of reporting
crimes is the inconsistencies involved in information given out by the
so-called witnesses, when crimes are being investigated. The illiterate
nature of most citizens about the legal and criminal code of its
society poses a greater threat. Some just give information about a
crime thinking that by doing so; they will be popular, given money for
coming forth with’ vital information’. With this, they say or do
anything to act as if they were present when the crime occurred. This
scenario drastically slows down the process of justice.
1.3 Aims and Objectives.
The motive behind carrying out this research work is to
properly and carefully scrutinize the effect of behavior contrary to
the formal law in the society, on its victims and to achieve the
following aims;
- To assess the actual level of crime as against reported crimes.
- To highlight the effect or impact of such reported crimes on their victims. identify
- To make practical suggestions on how to reduce the negative effects of crimes.
- To suggest ways in which criminals are to be punished, for correction.
- To ascertain who exactly can be held responsible for widespread of criminal activities.
1.4 Scope of Study.
This research work is basically concerned with the major effect
of crime reporting on the victims and the impact of proper
investigation of criminal activities amongst members of the Ilorin
metropolitan areas.
For the purpose of accurate and effective research work, the
study is restricted to a selected sample, from the entire metropolis, a
representative of a fair proportion as a whole.
1.5 Significance of the Study.
Most importantly, this research work is to contribute to the
knowledge of the criminal activities and how they may be reduced or at
most eradicated.
It shall also act as a basis for further investigation or
scrutinization on crime reporting and the various psychological social
effects on its victims.
Lastly, it is an attempt to bring into limelight; some of the
errors involved in the process of crime reporting and suggest likely
solutions on how to improve these services.
