      abstract = {This book uses crime-science and traditional  criminological approaches to explore urban crime in the  rapidly urbanising country Nigeria, as a case study for  urban crime in developing nations. In Africa's largest  democracy, rapid unmanaged growth in its cities combined  with decaying public infrastructure mean that risk factors  accumulate and deepen the potential for urban crime. This  book includes a thorough explanation of key concepts  alongside an examination of the contemporary configuration,  dynamics, dimensions, drivers and potential responses to  urban crime challenges. The authors also discuss a range of  methodological techniques and applications that can be  used, including spatial technologies to generate new data  for analysis. It brings together history, theory, trends,  patterns, drivers, repercussions and responses to provide a  deep analysis of the challenges that confront urban  dwellers. Urbanisation and Crime in Nigeria offers  academics, researchers, governments, civil society  organisations, citizens, and international partners a tool  with which to engage in a serious dialogue about crime  within cities, based on evidence and good practices from  inside and outside sub-Saharan Africa.--},
