How Nigerians view the Nigeria police leadership and their commitment to crime control: a quantitative study of Kaduna state police command

Abstract: 

Prevention of crime and public safety is one of the functions of any police force for which the Nigeria police is not an exemption. This research article investigated how Nigerians view the Nigeria Police leadership and their commitment to crime control and prevention by using the Kaduna State Police Command as the foundation for this Study. Survey was used as the method for data collection anonymously from the rank and file officers through mail in from 190 participants.
