COMMUNITY POLICING PARTICIPATION INTENTION AND THE INDIRECT EFFECT OF ATTITUDES TOWARD THE POLICE: A PROPOSED MODEL
ABSTRACT
Nigeria has been experiencing serious security challenges, which defied solutions, even with enormous security policies and programs. Hence, the need for a better and appropriate policing style that is democratic and people oriented to ensure public safety. This paper proposes a model of community policing participation intention in Nigeria. The paper aimed at examining demographic variables (religion, and ethnicity), and trusting variable (trust in the police) as issues that directly influence citizens‘ intention to participate in community policing in Nigeria. Additionally, the paper evaluates the indirect effects of attitudes toward the police on citizens‘ participation intention in community policing. The paper further review extant literature and come up with a model based on the combination of three theories; group position theory, procedural justice theory, and theory of planned behaviour.
