Currently in Nigeria, different crimes ranging from ethnic clashes, domestic violence, burglary, financial fraud, kidnapping, pipe-line vandalism, and random killings by terrorist organizations, to mention a few, continue to plague the country. The conventional system of intelligence and crime record have failed to live up to the expectations as a result of limited security personnel, deficiency in effective information technology strategies, and infrastructures for gathering, storing, and analyzing data for accurate prediction, decision support, and prevention of crimes. There is presently no information system in Nigeria that provides a central database that is capable of storing the spatial distribution of various acts of terrorism based on the location where the crime is committed. This chapter presents the design of an information system that can be used by security agents for the storage and retrieval of criminal acts of terrorism in order to provide improved decision support regarding solving and preventing criminal acts of terrorism in Nigeria using modern technologies. |
