Similar to the past seminars, SSPIS 2016 focused on three main disciplines of pure arts, applied arts and applied sciences. Social Sciences is not a stand-alone discipline but transdisciplinary, encompassing a number of fields including anthropology, sociology, social work, development, planning and management, economics, political science, psychology, education, language, humanities, communication, mass media and housing, building and planning. The trans-disciplinary nature of social sciences allows for the weaving of new knowledge, and at the same time, allows researchers to move beyond known boundaries, as society’s problems are far too complex and cannot be solved only within the domain of one discipline. Hence, SSPIS is the right platform for all participants to share knowledge, findings, and ideas across many different fields. The SSPIS 2016 attracted a total of 145 research papers from various institutions and organisations from around the world. All the full papers were subjected to double-blind peer reviews. Out of 145 research papers, only 26 papers were selected to be included in the Proceedings of Social Sciences Postgraduate International Seminar that will be submitted to Thomson Reuters for the Conference Proceedings Citation Index. We would like to take this opportunity to convey our appreciation to all authors and participants for their contribution and support. We would also like to thank all paper reviewers for their invaluable input and constructive comments in reviewing the papers. Last but not least, we would like to extend our deepest gratitude to the staff and postgraduate students of School of Social Sciences, USM for having supported and successfully organized the SSPIS 2016. Thank you Razlini Mohd Ramli Norzarina Mohd Zaharim Paramjit Singh Jamir Singh Syazwani Drani Editors Proceedings of Social Sciences Postgraduate International Seminar (SSPIS) December 2016 7 EDITORIAL BOARD Editors Razlini Mohd Ramli Norzarina Mohd Zaharim Paramjit Singh Jamir Singh Syazwani Drani 8 Hisbah and Urban Kano Insecurity: A Qualitative Analysis Approach Ali Ado Siro1 & P. Sundramoorthy2 1, 2 Anthropology & Sociology Section, Universiti Sains Malaysia, 11800 Pulau Pinang, Penang, Malaysia. 1Criminology and Security Studies Department, Federal University Dutse, Jigawa State, Nigeria. (Email: [email protected]¹, [email protected]²) Abstract Insecurity has been a common feature of northern Nigerian states in the contemporary times. As an affected state, Kano introduced Hisbah in the year 2000 at the boil of public agitation to assist the implementation of Islamic Shari’a. This study is aimed at assessing the contribution of the organisation in fighting crime to ensure security for the populace. The area comprises of eight local government areas out of forty-four that made up the state. The data were collected via in-depth interviews using snowball sampling. The relevant organisation’s departments involved in the study consist of crime, surveillance, investigation, operation and welfare. The findings revealed that, the organisation has been helpful not only in curbing insecurity but had great achievements in the resolution of civil cases and welfare issues within and outside the state jurisdiction. Although this picture proves the indispensability of Hisbah, there are problems affecting the functionality of the agency. And, this calls for re-strengthening the organisation to ensure a lasting solution to insecurity management problems. This is a task that lies not only in the hands of relevant authorities but also collaborative efforts from the general public. Keywords: Hisbah, Urban Kano, Security, Insecurity, Qualitative Approach 1. Introduction Security is the most vital element in human social, economic and political life. The global attention in post-cold and Gulf wars’ period was redirected from traditional to non-traditional security concern especially in the third world countries. These issues were invoked at the United Nations
