Book excerpt: Studies dealing with law enforcement, order maintenance and perception of the Nigeria police are primarily concerned with either the historical development of the Nigeria Police Force (NPF) or the use to which the police force has been put to by the federal military government. It is rare to find any systematic and extensive surveys of the opinions of the Nigerian public and that of the police officers, themselves, regarding how they perceive the NPF, its image and the possible ways their perceptions can affect the social organization of policing in the country.That is, how their views of the police force affect the methods they use to enforce laws and maintain order on the streets. This study filled this void; it surveyed the opinions of respondents which comprises of the Nigerian public and police officers concerning how they view the NPF and their job.
