Between 1985 and 2005, vigilante groups were established in almost all the neighbourhoods of Kano with the support of the traditional authority and community leaders. However, government interference, political instrumentalisation and inadequate support undermined its critical rote. Part of the rationale for the Police Community Relations Committee (PCRC) in Sabongari lies not in the efficacy of such initiative in reducing the incidence of crime but to confer a sense of identity, control of crime and security. The contradiction in PCRC could be located in the pathological fixation of police on corruption, which alienated and depressed the public from providing valuable information for crime control. The activities of vigilante groups and Hisba have reduced the high rate of juvenile delinquency in metropolitan Kano. The litmus test for Hisba in the implementation of Sharia law would be how it could reconcile the social diversity in a multicultural society such as Kano to ensure security and social harmony. The study concludes that the gap between different forms of vigilante groups, conflicting political motivations and the near discordant relations with the police, produced a dysfunctional mechanism for crime control. 606 $aVigilance committees$xHistory$zNigeria$zKano 606 $aCrime prevention$xCitizen participation$zNigeria$zKano 606 $aCommunity policing$xHistory$zKano$zNigeria 606 $aPolice-community relations$xHistory$zNigeria$zKano 606 $aIslamic law$zNigeria$zKano 606 $aSocial Welfare & Social Work$2HILCC 606 $aSocial Sciences$2HILCC 606 $aCriminology, Penology & Juvenile Delinquency$2HILCC 610 $apolice 610 $aKano 610 $adélinquance 610 $aNigeria 610 $agated community 610 $aviolence 610 $acriminalité 615 0$aVigilance committees$xHistory 615 0$aCrime prevention$xCitizen participation 615 0$aCommunity policing$xHistory 615 0$aPolice-community relations$xHistory 615 0$aIslamic law 615 7$aSocial Welfare & Social Work 615 7$aSocial Sciences 615 7$aCriminology, Penology & Juvenile Delinquency 700 $aOlaniyi$b Rasheed$0955387 712 02$aInstitut français de recherche en Afrique Ibadan Branch. 801 0$bPQKB 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910131948203321 996 $aCommunity vigilantes in metropolitan Kano, 1985-2005$92161601 997 $aUNINA
