Recieved 14 September, 2016; Accepted 26 October, 2016 Human trafficking in this era has been conceptualized as a global event that is likened to slavery because of the inhumane treatment that the victims go through. The scope and the criminal aspect of it demands police initiative to curb the menace. The current researcher used semi-structured qualitative interview, direct observation, and review of documents to gather data from Ghana Police Service and some anti-human trafficking institutions in Ghana to identify the nature, scope and responses to reduce or eradicate this menace that has detrimental effect on the people of Ghana, as a case study. Contemporarily, in terms of origin, destination and transit of people to engage in this criminal act, the menace put Ghana into Tier Two Watch-List classification in 2015 on the international level. Human trafficking in Ghana was characterized as violence, debt bondage, exploitation, deprivation of the freedom of the victims, and confiscation of travelling and other documents. The study revealed that the government of Ghana had put in only a minimal effort to curb the menace, and that the trafficking of people had created a security concern that the police must be apt to control.

  • Ghana Police Service
    Published by: Global Facilitation Network for Security Sector Reform University of Cranfield Shrivenham, UK ISSN 1740-2425 Volume 4 Number 2 - April 2006 An Overview Of The Ghana Police Service Emmanuel Kwesi Aning Acknowledgements In the preparation of this paper, several individuals and organisations have given support. Let me first thank Prosper Nii Nortey Addo, a Researcher at the African Security Dialogue and Research, who was instrumental in tracking down rare documents and setting up meetings with key officials. Probably, this work could not have been completed on time but for the consistent interest and support of two key Police officers whose personal and professional support disproves the generally held negative public view of the Police. Heartfelt thanks for DSP Paul Avuyi who took time off his busy schedule to talk and patiently ask questions. His personal interest in the work did not only end with his intellectual input, he carefully read the work and made suggestions. From the Records and Archival Department, thanks to Michael Teku for providing documents, the state of which definitely demonstrate the need for proper storage and care. There are several individuals who for several reasons want to remain unmentioned. They were instrumental in providing documents relevant to the study and sharing diverse perspectives on the Police, which has gone to enrich this short paper. The genesis of this short paper can be located within two totally separate but linked projects. One was the initiation of a study of public perceptions of the police by the Media Foundation for West Africa (MFWA) and a conference on Police and Policing in Ghana organised by the African Security Dialogue and Research (ASDR) in conjunction with MFWA and the Ministry of Interior.

  • OCCUPATIONAL FRAUD: a Comparative Study of Ghana and Nigeria
    Institute of Criminal Justice Studies OCCUPATIONAL FRAUD: A Comparative Study of Ghana and Nigeria MICHELLE ODUDU BA, MSc The thesis is submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the award of the degree of Doctor of Philosophy of the University of Portsmouth Submitted 31 Oct 2017 WHILST REGISTERED AS A CANDIDATE FOR THE ABOVE DEGREE, I HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED FOR ANY OTHER RESEARCH AWARD. THE RESULTS AND CONCLUSIONS EMBODIED IN THIS THESIS ARE THE WORK OF THE NAMED CANDIDATE AND HAVE NOT BEEN SUBMITTED FOR ANY OTHER ACADEMIC AWARD i Abstract Ghana and Nigeria are known for their high levels of Occupational Fraud in public offices. The governments of both countries have emphasised their commitment to reducing the losses caused to the state by pledging their allegiance to the counter fraud agencies to help tackle Occupational Fraud. Yet it seems that the prosecution of such cases are ineffective as high-profile fraudsters can operate with immunity and their cases remain unprosecuted. This research project was based on in-depth examinations of 50 occupational fraud cases, involving high profile individuals in both countries. In doing so, it established the characteristics of those who were prosecuted; the extent to which prosecutions were effectively managed; the barriers to effective prosecutions; and the similarities or differences between the occurrences in both countries. The aim of the project is to examine the practice of, and barriers to prosecution of large scale occupational fraud of those in senior public positions in Ghana and Nigeria. The study drew on the experiences of stakeholders such as defence and prosecution barristers, academics and fraud analysts via semi- structured interviews and questionnaires.

More recently, however, approaches acknowledge advertising as a ‘tool’ deployed for a range of ‘political’ ends, encouraging changes in values, understandings and behaviors. Such advertising is often referred to as ‘social marketing’.
