Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Nigeria and Nigerians have acquired a notorious reputation for involvement in drug-trafficking, fraud, cyber-crime and other types of serious crime. Successful Nigerian criminal networks have a global reach, interacting with their Italian, Latin American and Russian counterparts. Yet in 1944, a British colonial official wrote that 'the number of persistent and professional criminals is not great' in Nigeria and that 'crime as a career has so far made little appeal to the young Nigerian'. This book traces the origins of Nigerian organised crime to the last years of colonial rule, when nationalist politicians acquired power at a regional level. In need of funds for campaigning, they offered government contracts to foreign businesses in return for kickbacks, in a pattern that recurs to this day. Political corruption encouraged a wider disrespect for the law that spread throughout Nigerian society. When the country's oil boom came to an end in the early 1980s, young Nigerian college graduates headed abroad, eager to make money by any means. Nigerian crime went global at the very moment new criminal markets were emerging all over the world.

Book excerpt: Research Paper (undergraduate) from the year 2017 in the subject Politics - Region: Africa, grade: 4, University of Ibadan, language: English, abstract: This work articulates that Nigeria’s security is troubled by transnational crimes prevalent in West Africa by making an important argument that since West African states lack the capacity to uphold the basic demands of statehood within their territorial domains, they unavoidably serve as safe havens for trans-organized criminal networks, which has grave implications to Nigeria’s domestic concerns.

Book excerpt: Building on original research into the petroleum industry and on the theory of crimes of globalization, this book introduces the concept of Market Criminology: the criminology of preventable market-generated harms and the criminogenic effects of market rationality in variegated forms of capitalism. Ifeanyi Ezeonu explores the ascendance of the fundamentalist form of market economy in Nigeria; the complicity of the state political and security apparatuses in the corporate expropriation of the country's petroleum resource wealth; the deleterious effects of this neoliberal architecture on the local population, as well as community resistance strategies over the years. This book offers a major contribution to research on state-corporate crime and the crimes of the powerful. Key reading for scholars and students in the areas of criminology, international political economy and sociology, this book will also be rich resource for researchers and non-governmental agencies working in the areas of environmental protection, human rights and sustainable development in the Global South, especially the Sub-Saharan Africa.

This book was released on 2014 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Nigeria is a country that is richly endowed with both human and natural resources. Chief among the natural resources is crude oil, which has been the mainstay of the country's economy for decades, yet an average Nigerian lives on less than the equivalent of one US Dollars a day. Clearly, there is a disconnect between the endowment and the standard of living of majority of the people. Considering the available resources, the country is not developing at the rate expected, so many things are responsible for this stunted growth, they include, but are not limited, to corruption, mismanagement, unbridled stealing of the country's crude oil and other criminal activities. The fulcrum of this paper is the negative effects of the stealing of Nigeria's crude oil on the climate and how it has clipped the growth of the economy. In recent times climate change has taken the front seat in global discourse, there has been a growing concern about changes in the climate and the quest that no stone must be left unturned in addressing the issue. Good climate is a sine qua non to sustainable development. The acts of human beings had been fingered as the causes of adverse changes in the environment, such deviant behaviours includes those acts associated with crude oil theft such as oil spillages; illegal oil pipeline breakages; illegal bunkering of crude oil; environmental degradation; deforestation; etc. This egregious state of things was possible because of lack of good governance flowing from lack of respect for the rule of law. The deleterious effects of such acts of man described above are manifest in a myriad of social and economic malaise such as scarcity of potable water translating into health hazards and thus lowering the standard of living of its masses. Further there has been huge and recurring loss of revenue that could be used to mitigate the effect of climate change and the setting up of processes to properly address adaptation to natural changes in the climate and also to delimit deforestation in Nigeria. Some other effects includes pollution of land for agriculture; accumulation of harmful substances in food webs; diminishing biodiversity and people resorting to less environmentally friendly means of generating electricity and power. These factors represent some of the challenges which have impeded the country's likelihood of achieving the much touted millennium development goals (MDGS) of the current government in Nigeria. This work posits that there is a strong bond between good governance, sustainable development and climate change. The paper analyses these concepts as they relate to crude oil theft in Nigeria and its impact on climate change in Nigeria. It observes that sustainable development will naturally thrive in an environment of good governance and proper equitable utilization of the country's crude oil resources. The paper concludes that with the enthronement of necessary enforcement machineries for good governance in Nigeria, the currently booming international crude oil theft syndicate and its attendant ills would be stemmed thus ensuring sustainable development in Nigeria.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A comprehensive and state-of the-art overview from internationally-recognized experts on white-collar crime covering a broad range of topics from many perspectives Law enforcement professionals and criminal justice scholars have debated the most appropriate definition of “white-collar crime” ever since Edwin Sutherland first coined the phrase in his speech to the American Sociological Society in 1939. The conceptual ambiguity surrounding the term has challenged efforts to construct a body of science that meaningfully informs policy and theory. The Handbook of White-Collar Crime is a unique re-framing of traditional discussions that discusses common topics of white-collar crime—who the offenders are, who the victims are, how these crimes are punished, theoretical explanations—while exploring how the choice of one definition over another affects research and scholarship on the subject. Providing a one-volume overview of research on white-collar crime, this book presents diverse perspectives from an international team of both established and newer scholars that review theory, policy, and empirical work on a broad range of topics. Chapters explore the extent and cost of white-collar crimes, individual- as well as organizational- and macro-level theories of crime, law enforcement roles in prevention and intervention, crimes in Africa and South America, the influence of technology and globalization, and more. This important resource: Explores diverse implications for future theory, policy, and research on current and emerging issues in the field Clarifies distinct characteristics of specific types of offences within the general archetype of white-collar crime Includes chapters written by researchers from countries commonly underrepresented in the field Examines the real-world impact of ambiguous definitions of white-collar crime on prevention, investigation, and punishment Offers critical examination of how definitional decisions steer the direction of criminological scholarship Accessible to readers at the undergraduate level, yet equally relevant for experienced practitioners, academics, and researchers, The Handbook of White-Collar Crime is an innovative, substantial contribution to contemporary scholarship in the field.
