Abstract

Criminal offences recorded in Nkanu West Local Government Area from 2007 to 2015 were analysed using statistical tools. The records obtained from the Police Headquarters in the Local Government Area, were used to study the causes of crime, the pattern of criminality, the link between these crimes with gender and age, to make prediction for future and proffer solutions to the prevalent crimes recorded. Statistical tools like Analysis of Variance (ANOVA), Regression and minitab statistical software were employed. Results show that there is no significant difference between age/gender and five most committed crimes in Nkanu West L.G.A using the 95% confidence interval. The study also shows that crime rate is expected to reduce as the years go by. Keywords: Crime, Murder, House breaking, Unlawful Possession of Arms, Rape, Grievous Harm, Attempted Murder, Hard Drugs Possession.
