dc.description.abstractThe study examined security risk practices among in-school adolescents in the university of Ilorin, Kwara State as perceived by the undergraduates of the university. Descriptive research survey was adopted. Population consisted of undergraduates of the university. A multistage sampling method was employed to select two hundred undergraduates as sample who participated in the study. Data were collected via the researchers’ designed questionnaire entitled “ Security Risk Practices in the University Questionnaire (SRPUQ)” validated by experts in test and measurement while split-half was used for obtaining the reliability coefficient of 0.62. One research question and four hypotheses were formulated to guide the study. Hypotheses were tested at 0.05 level of significance. Findings revealed that security risk practices among in-school adolescents in the university include: cultism, living in unsecured off campus accommodation, studying late in the class among others. Significant difference was found in the perception of the respondents based on religion, no significant difference was found based on gender, age and year of study. It is concluded that in-school adolescents engage in security practices that can expose them to danger. The study recommends that at the point of entry to the universities the students should be counselled and be made to know and avoid these security risk practices and the university management should ensure safe accommodation and environment for their students.en_US
