Nigeria has a fair share of this menace. The nature, trend and dimensions of urban violence are greeted with various levels of deep complexities per excellence. The shifting dimensions are the hydra-like nature of its occurrence. The dimension of urban violence has various implications ranging from political backwardness, economy dwarfism and social anarchism. This work proffers a buffer to the continuous effect of urban violence in Nigeria and applicable in other developing countries of Africa and the world. The tyre burning model is used alongside the broken window and relative application theories to give a vivid insight to urban violence in the human community but buffer solutions are prerequisites to the mitigation of such menaces.enViolencePeace MechanismDemocracyEconomyUrbanRule of LawArticle
