ABSTRACT
The rapid rate of crime and criminal activities have been a major issue of concern the world over, and tspecial1y in Nigeria since the civil war (1967-1970) (Tamuno 1985: 199 1). None of the succession of various governments has been able to tackle the with any degree of success (Third United Natiorik Crime Survey 1993). White crime has been on the increase, the invoIvement of youth and the ferocity with which such acts have been perpetuated is both alarming and frightening. This has in turn escalated the level of fear and anxiety among the public for the security of their property and their personal safety.
