Problem-oriented crime deterrence strategies were used in one neighbourhood, the other served as a control group. Mixed-methods approach was used to measure the effectiveness of problem-oriented approaches in persistent high-crime areas. Pre- and post-intervention surveys were conducted by sampling addresses in both neighbourhoods and analysing results. No between-neighbourhood differences were reported regarding the satisfaction with police services or improvement in perceived safety. These findings suggest that this deterrence strategy is a promising approach to reducing crime while not damaging community perceptions. However, departments must vary place-based strategies, and prevention is difficult given historical contexts, the absence of credible community partners and limited resources in a declining city.

This is with a view to influencing community support for and satisfaction with non-state policing in the country. The study adopted a case study approach. Lagos, Nigeria was stratified into the high, medium and low densities. Systematic sampling technique was used in selecting 1 out of every 20 buildings (5 percent) in each area. Household representative person on each floor of the selected building who had contact with vigilante corps in the last 12 months were targeted. Of 768 copies of questionnaires administered, a sample of 386 was effectively returned (representing 50 percent response rate). Six categories of variables were analysed. These are procedural justice, distributive justice, vigilante corps’ performance, legitimacy, residents’ satisfaction with vigilante corps activities and socio-economic characteristics. Results reveal that respondents are not primarily instrumental in their support for vigilantisms.

The mayor acquired greater discretion to formulate local policy responses in this field.
