| 總結: | Even when statistics from various international institutions indicate a relatively higher
prevalence of crimes among the locals, the increasing trend of a spike in crime rates among
immigrants especially of African descent in Malaysia is also bothersome. Given the rise in
the number of reported criminal activities involving, specifically, Nigerians in Malaysia, it
becomes necessary to understand the underlying motives for such behaviour as part of the
attempt to arrest this trend. The current study explores the factors contributing to criminal
behaviour among some Nigerians residing in Malaysia. In view of the prominence of
socio-economic factors in explaining criminal behaviour, this study explores this rising
phenomenon from a socio-economic perspective. In addressing this objective, this study
employs the Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP), whereby the socio-economic factors are
ranked according to their contribution to the crime rate. It is expected that the findings of
this study will shed light on the root causes
of this menace, thereby offering policy
makers greater information and insight with
which to more effectively curb such criminal
activities. |
