1.6. SIGNIFICANCE OF THE STUDY
The
study would be of immense importance to government at all levels, the
Nigerian prison service and relevant stakeholders as it would reveal the
impact of gender criminality on Nigeria. The study would also benefit
students, researchers and scholars who are interested in developing
further research on the subject matter.
1.7. SCOPE OF THE STUDY
The
study is restricted to the impact of gender criminality in Nigeria
using a case study of Suleja prisons in Minna, Niger state.
1.8 LIMITATION OF THE STUDY
Financial
constraint: Insufficient fund tends to impede the efficiency of the
researcher in sourcing for the relevant materials, literature or
information and in the process of data collection (internet,
questionnaire and interview)
Time constraint: The researcher will
simultaneously engage in this study with other academic work. This
consequently will cut down on the time devoted for the research work.
1.9 DEFINITION OF TERMS
GENDER:
the state of being male or female (typically used with reference to
social and cultural differences rather than biological ones).
CRIMINAL:
an act or the commission of an act that is forbidden or the omission of
a duty that is commanded by a public law and that makes the offender
liable to punishment by that law
PRISON: a building to which people are legally committed as a punishment for a crime or while awaiting trial.
SOCIAL
VICES: is a practice, behaviour, or habit generally considered immoral,
sinful, criminal, rude, taboo, depraved, or degrading in the associated
society. In more minor usage, vice can refer to a fault, a negative
character trait, a defect, an infirmity, or a bad or unhealthy habit
(such as an addiction to smoking).
