dc.description.abstractThe present study investigates the experiences of victims of crime with the Nigerian criminal justice practitioners from the point of reporting their victimisations to the trial process and court ruling. The study adopts a cross- sectional survey design. It was carried out in Ilorin, Kwara State, Nigeria. Sampling methods adopted include criterion, convenience, and purposive to select 31 participants for the study. In-depth interview was the instruments employed for data collection and information gathered was analysed using thematic analysis. The results indicated that participants were not satisfied with the process from the beginning to the end; even though penalties based on the provisions of the law have been imposed on their various offenders. Also, participants do not appear to have gotten the justice they strive for due to the inadequate or absence of compensation for the harms or losses suffered. The study, recommends that while the system protects the offenders based on the provisions of the law, there is also a need for the system to focus on the desires of the victims of crime.en_US
