摘要

目的本研究旨在调查尼日利亚高原州人民要求获得更多携带枪支自卫许可证的呼声,因为尼日利亚政府一直未能保护他们免受富拉尼牧民的侵略。多枪少犯罪威慑理论是分析的框架,该理论认为,由于罪犯是理性的人,当他们知道许多人拥有合法枪支时,他们会选择不攻击。设计/方法/方法从该州四个有意选择的地方政府区域收集数据。这项研究的样本量为400。因此,发放了400份谷歌表格调查表。此外,还进行了7次关键线人访谈和9次焦点小组讨论。调查结果这项研究结果显示:虽然自卫和发放更多许可证分别得到84.8%和85.0%的受访者的支持,但他们也认为,如果更多人携带合法获得的枪支,叛乱可能会结束。同样,该研究表明,政府在安全方面的失败与针对富拉尼牧民叛乱的自卫演习需求之间存在正相关,该研究建议为高原州人民提供更多的许可枪支。

Self-defence against Fulani herders’ aggression: a demand for licenced firearms in Plateau state, Nigeria
Purpose This study aims to investigate the clamour by the people of Plateau State, Nigeria, for more licences to bear firearms for self-defence because of the continuous failure of the Nigerian State to defend them against the Fulani herders’ aggression. More guns less crime deterrence theory served as the framework of analysis, which posits that because criminals are rational beings, they will choose not to attack when they know many people have legitimate firearms. Design/methodology/approach Data were collected from four purposefully selected local government areas of the state. This study’s sample size was 400. Therefore, 400 copies of the Google Forms questionnaire were administered. In addition, seven key informant interviews and nine focus group discussions were also conducted. Findings This research results showed the following: while self-defence and issuance of more licenses were supported by 84.8% and 85.0% of respondents, respectively, they also argued that the insurgency would likely end if more people carried legally acquired firearms. Again, the study showed a positive correlation between the government’s failure in security and the demand for self-defence exercises against the Fulani herdsmen’s insurgency, this study recommends more licensed firearms for the people of Plateau State. Originality/value This study recommends more licenced firearms for the people of Plateau State.
