    The relationship between gender and crime is intense and persistent. Both women and men commit and are victims of crime, but their perspectives, understanding, and interpretation of the crime are likely to be different. While attempts have been made to explain the causes and horrible implications of crime in Nigerian society, not much has been done in terms of research to link gender with commission of crime. Thus, this paper examines the relationship between gender and crime in Nigeria. The paper enunciates the reasons for gender differential in crime and also uses the containment theory and the opportunity theory of female criminality to explain these differences. The Nigerian Prisons Service Statistics on all inmates across all the prisons in Nigeria was considered. Using the available data, the paper contends that women’s crime rates are far lower than men’s crime rates. The paper concludes with suggestions on how to reduce the crime rate of men, by them being closely supervised and discouraged from misbehaviour. Men should also be socialized heavily towards greater empathy.

    Institutional structures all over the world play crucial role in the development of the society especially rural areas. This is because no individual or society can develop without those structures. This study examines the developmental impacts of institutional structures on rural area in Asa Local Government Area of Kwara State. As such, survey design was adopted. The data were collected through questionnaires administered to one hundred and twenty (120) households in Asa. Data collected were analysed through descriptive statistics; Chi-square was employed to test the hypotheses. The findings revealed that there is a significant relationship between institutional structures and sustainable rural development. Also, it was discovered that a close supervision of the institutional structures will enhance the level of development in the rural areas. Based on the above, it was recommended that there is need for the three-tier governments to intensify efforts in establishing more institutional structures in the rural areas. Furthermore, government and the communities should ensure that the institutional structures are well monitored coordinated and supervised. Lastly, corporate organisations, non-governmental organisations and individuals should be sensitised on the need to establish institutional structures for the rural dwellers

    (Faculty of Education, Ignatius Ajuru University of Education, Port Harcourt., 2018-03) Raji Abdullateef; Abubakar Yinusa Muhammed; Sulaiman Rasheed Lanre Abdul Rasheed; Raji Khalid Olatunji; Mustapha Muydeen Abongo; Akor Sunday Joseph
    The nomadic populace of the country represents a section that could be said to be held with levity. The flame of literacy is close to being snuffed out among the nomadic masses. Not only should literacy be valued over illiteracy but literacy somewhat guarantees the nomads a life beyond their current one. It offers them a lifeline into the modern world, shedding the skin of illiteracy for that of the well-read. It is in line with this that a study was done in Orelope local government of Oyo State to find out if the establishment of nomadic schools have significantly modernized their lifestyle. The study also tries to know if there is any significant relationship between nomadic education and rural development, in terms of the availability of social infrastructures. The survey method was employed with a two-stage sampling technique to select a sample size of 125. The chi square method was then used to analyse the data collected. The study discovered that there is no relationship between nomadic schools and rural development. Also, the schools have not significantly changed the lifestyles of the nomads. Based on these, the study recommends that conducive learning environments should be made available, the amendment of the educational syllabus to suit the lifestyle of the nomads should be given priority.
