  • A Study of Abuja Crime Hotspot Mapping and Analysis
    GEO-SPATIAL TECHNOLOGIES FOR NIGERIAN URBAN SECURITY AND CRIME MANAGEMENT - A STUDY OF ABUJA CRIME HOTSPOT MAPPING AND ANALYSIS Adepoju M. O, Halilu S. A, S.O. Mohammed, Ozigis S. M, Idris I, Blessing A, Adeluyi O. A National Space Research and Development Agency Strategic Space Application Department Abuja, Nigeria. [email protected]; [email protected] [email protected] [email protected] [email protected] [email protected]. ABSTRACT Abuja is one of the fastest growing cities in the sub-Sahara Africa. The city lacks the modern management techniques for an effective crime mapping, monitoring and management to meet the attainment of liveable environment despite its aesthetically pleasing outlook of a modern city. The cities of the developed world are managed with the intelligence provided by Geo-spatial technologies. The advances in space technologies have made the onerous task of managing crime possible. However, the availability of these technologies has not been exploited, utilised nor domesticated by various institutions charged with the responsibility of city planning and management to attain secure and safe environment in Nigerian urban and rural communities. Geographic information systems, remote sensing and allied technologies have manifested in various forms in the last four decades particularly since the launch of LANDSAT earth observatory satellites these has provided baseline information for intelligence gathering. The very high resolution images provided by the new generation of satellites have made the integration of GIS/RS for urban crime mapping not only possible but also effective for day-to-day running and management of many aspects of city life. The NigeriaSat-2 and Ortho-rectified Quick-Bird images, basemap, master plan and questionnaires were used to generate the crime dataset which was later aggregated to show the crime hotspots and Coldspots areas within the residential districts of Abuja Federal Capital City, Phase 1.

  • INTRODUCTION It Is Possible to Wonder What More There Is to Say
    INTRODUCTION It is possible to wonder what more there is to say about whether the Church of England should have women bishops. The Church of England has already been blessed by a series of substantial reports – notably the Rochester Report in 2004, and the series of documents that went to General Synod in 2006 from the Guildford Group, the Bishops of Guildford and Gloucester, and the Faith & Order Advisory Group. This Report, nevertheless, breaks new ground and is of a different character from what has gone before. The task that the General Synod gave us in July 2006 was to prepare possible legislation, consistent with the Synod’s view that the time had come to explore in some detail what the practical implications would be of admitting women to the episcopate. This report, therefore, seeks to move the debate on from the ‘whether’ to the ‘how’. In so doing it sets out some key options, with illustrative legal material. Our hope is that this Report will now enable Synod members to make an informed choice as to how to proceed. While the Report essentially focuses on practicalities, the Group has throughout been engaged on the theological and ecclesiological implications of different ways of proceeding. Within the Group, as within the Synod, there has been a wide range of views and we have not seen it as our task to strain for consensus. We have, however, engaged with one another with great courtesy, united in a shared commitment to a common task, and been nurtured by much prayer and fellowship together.
