Language: English. Brand new Book. Essay from the year 2017 in the subject Sociology - Law, Delinquency, Abnormal Behavior, grade: -, University of Ghana, Legon (School of Social Sciences), course: Long Essay, language: English, abstract: This study investigates crime in two socioeconomically distinctive localities in Accra, Cantonments and Jamestown.

Despite the fact that the Ghana police service (GPS) claim that crime rates have been declining steadily over the years, crime remains a major threat to the lives and property of people in Ghana considering the fact that the nation struggles with poverty, economic inequality, the 'proliferation' of illicit drugs, arms etc. This study also addresses target hardening and the critical role it plays in protecting many civilians from being victims of criminal activity in their homes. The main theoretical perspective of the study is the situational crime prevention theory. This theory aims at finding out reasons why certain crimes occur at particular locations.

Over the course of this study, property crimes such as armed robbery and burglary were found to be more prevalent in upper class residential areas like Cantonments whereas non-property crimes such as physical assault and murder are more prevalent in lower class settlements like Jamestown. It was also discovered that, highly sophisticated target hardening measures were more common in upper class residential areas like Cantonments. This study like the 'Crime-poverty nexus' studies by Owusu, Oteng-Ababio, et.al, (2016) recommends that crime prevention measures carried out by the police and other authorities must be place specific. This is because the unique socioeconomic circumstances of a locality determines the types of crime which are prevalent in that locality. 2017. 88 S. 5 Farbabb. 210 mm Versandfertig in 6-10 Tagen, Taschenbuch, Neuware, Offene Rechnung (Vorkasse vorbehalten).
