摘要

国家的职能和行动代表着国家的本质和特征。警察作为公民社会中最明显的机构，代表着一个国家政府的特征。根据这一思想，尼日利亚警察部队（NPF）中的 "特别反劫匪小组"（SARS）的行动引起了公众对政府的愤怒，并引发了一场名为 "#终结 SARS 运动 "的国际反警察暴行运动。除其他关注点外，本研究还试图解决以下问题："像'#EndSARS 运动'这样的犯罪学行动主义能否使警察对公民负责？

The State and Accountable Policing: A Diagnosis of #ENDSARS Movement in Nigeria

The functions and actions of a State represent and characterize what it is. Police, as the most visible institution in a civil society, represent the character of the government within a State. In line with this thought, the actions of the ‘Special Anti-Robbery Squad – SARS’, a unit in the Nigeria Police Force (NPF), attracted the ire of the public against the government which led to international anti-police brutality campaign known as ‘#EndSARS Movement’. Among other concerns, the study sought to address the question – ‘Can activism in criminology like the “#EndSARS Movement” make the police accountable to the citizens?’

期刊介绍： The Journal of Asian and African Studies (JAAS) was founded in 1965 to further research and study on Asia and Africa. JAAS is a peer reviewed journal of area studies recognised for consistent scholarly contributions to cutting-edge issues and debates. The journal welcomes articles, research notes, and book reviews that focus on the dynamics of global change and development of Asian and African nations, societies, cultures, and the global community. Published articles cover: -development and change -technology and communication -globalization -public administration -politics -economy -education -health, wealth, and welfare -poverty and growth -humanities -sociology -political science -linguistics -economics JAAS adheres to a double-blind reviewing policy in which the identity of both the reviewer and author are always concealed from both parties. Decisions on manuscripts will be taken as rapidly as possible. However, while it is hoped that a decision can be made in 6-8 weeks, the refereeing process makes it impossible to predict the length of time that will be required to process any given manuscript.
