- This 247-page book represents a bold and refreshing move that gives a comprehensive and up-to-date overview of urbanisation and crime in Nigeria through a robust analysis and discussion of the main drivers and pressures influencing crime in rapidly expanding cities, the current state of crime and the repercussions of crime on urban dwellers. The book musters an argument that Nigerian cities are contemporaneously structured to drive and facilitate the growth of crimes even as there are several transformative gains from the urbanisation fever. This book powerfully contrasts Nigerian and Euro-American cities from a structurated point of view.
