| description | The study examines fear and feeling of insecurity in Ibadan, Nigeria.
Residents and staff of hotels were selected through multistage and purposive sampling
respectively. The study discovered that the mean relative frequency worry index
(RFWI) among the hotel staff was 2.54, while it was 2.44 among the residents of the
host communities. The result showed that theft, fraud, robbery sexual abuse, and
burglary were the most frequently worried crime in the hotel industry while robbery,
theft, fraud, burglary, and sexual abuse were highly worried among the residents of
host communities. Using factor analysis, 82.28% of the total variance which
comprises mechanical/personal (42.7%), human (19.5%), economic (11.53%), and
environmental factors (8.49%) were the factors influencing fear and feeling of
insecurity among hotel staff while human/personal (49.30%), economic (11.26%),
mechanical (7.49%), and environmental factor (6.52%), representing 74.5% of the
whole variance were the factors among the residents of the host communities. The
study concluded that fear and feeling of insecurity is associated with different factors. |
