Rural Violence in Contemporary Nigeria : The State, Criminality and National Security Hardback
Edited by Usman A. (Nigerian Defence Academy) Tar, Bashir Bala
Part of the Routledge Studies in Peace, Conflict and Security in Africa series
Hardback
Description
The book explores the pressing problem of rural violence in contemporary Nigeria by assessing the changing patterns of conflict and response across the country.
Rural violence in Nigeria is becoming an increasingly pressing concern, with cattle rustling, banditry, kidnapping and farmer-herder conflicts putting immense pressure on the state’s institutional preparedness and the response capacity of the government, military and other security agencies.
Drawing from the expertise of a wide range of African development, governance and security researchers and practitioners, this book assesses the severity of the current problem of rural violence, and provides a critical analysis of the various national and state responses to rural violence in Nigeria.
Ultimately, the book aims to provide suggestions for restoring peace, security and development in Nigeria. This book will be of interest to scholars, researchers and administrators across Political Science, Security Studies, Rural Studies, and Regional Studies in Africa.
