PREVENTION OF CRIME
1.
Retribution: This means severe punishment for any wrong conduct. No
doubt this objectives governs the minds of the Nigeria courts and indeed
the public. When one is being sentenced to prison, section 4(1) of
prison Decree 1972 (decree 9) stated that “subject to this section, the
effect of sentence of imprisonment is with hard labour passed upon a
prison shall be that the prisoner shall be imprisoned for the period of
the sentence and during his imprisonment shall work at such labour as
may be directed by the superintendantâ€. This law therefore emphasized
the puncture aspect.
2. Deterrence: This can also be seen as
consequence or punishment set aside by the government in order to serve
as a lesson to determine both the prisoner and the public at large.

1.2 HISTORICAL BACKGROUND OF STUDY
The
Nigeria Police Force had its origin in year 1861. The consul at that
time complained that he had numerous duties among those of the police
trust on him and in 1861 permission was sought from the British consular
guard of 30 men. This was so named because the representative of the
British government was John Becroft. Two years later in 1863, this small
guard was renamed “Hausa Police†consisting of 600 men because of the
enlistment into it of some captured runaway slave at Jebba by it. Worer
R. N. in 1879 the Hausa Police was further enlarged by the recruitment
of more men mainly from the Hausa and was named Hausa constabulary. It
then consisted of 1200 officers and commanded by an Inspector-General of
police. Duty was mainly military in character. Although the men were
expected to perform some civil duties one of such military duties was
the provision of detachment of 8 officers and 251 men for the Arochukwu.
On
January 1st 1896, the Lagos Police Force was created like the Hansa
constabulary. This was the arm. It consisted of a commissioner, two
Assistant Commissioners, a superintendent and quarter master, and 250
other ranks. This force operated mainly in Lagos area, while the
constabulary operated in the north, the detective department was formed
in 1898 and consisted of one superintendent and 14 other ranks from this
grew our present criminal Investigation Department (CID).
