No full text<p>Corruption is a cankerworm that has eaten deep into almost every system in Nigeria. It is a crime with such a despicable viral effect and disastrous tendency like a terror bomb. Though it is more of an executive crime but no well-meaning government handles corruption with levity because the extremity of its ugly tentacles is capable of obstructing good governance. Therefore, the system has to be sanitized to make the process hitch free for strategic developmental adventure. One of the major challenges in the fight against corruption is detecting and exposing corruption. The whistle blowing therefore becomes a veritable means to fight this cancerous crime. Against this backdrop, this paper seeks to examine where is the whistle blowing policy in Nigeria? An anti-corruption strategy Based on the gaps in literature, this paper recommends among others a performance review system that is tied to rewarding whistle blowing; ways to protect whistle-blowers and the need to strengthen organizational support structures for whistleblowing.</p>

The target population for the study was teenagers between the ages of 15 and 18 found in some brothels, on the street at night, and in guest houses involved in prostitution as a way of surviving a hard time. The sample size is 120 teenagers. The questionnaire was developed by the researcher and validated by experts in the field of measurement and evaluation. Both instruments have a reliability of 0.78 and 0.85, respectively. An in-depth interview was conducted with six respondents; this was made possible by the participant observation method adopted by the research. A photograph was taken. A semi-structured interview guide was used for the IDI. The researcher transcribed the data acquired from the in-depth interviews through the use of a recording device, and they were compared with the notes taken by the note-taker during the meetings. Both the transcribed tapes and the field notes were utilized for data analysis. Simple regression was used to test the first two hypotheses, and multiple regression was used to analyzing the last hypothesis, as well as content analysis for the In-depth interview. Findings from the study revealed that peer influences are a major variable that propels teenagers into prostitution, and a lack of economic power has put strains on parents to send their girl child to the city in the name of searching for green pasture, who end up becoming prostitutes. A recommendation was made that parents should take full responsibility for the upbringing of their children and should desist from giving their children economic favors from friends and relatives. In most cases, such children end up becoming prostitutes and armed robbers.

Materialism and Cyber Fraud: An Exploration of Transactional Gospel Teachings in Nigeria
No full textThis study examines materialism and cyber fraud: an exploration of transactional gospel teachings in Nigeria. The rise of materialism in Nigerian churches is rooted in the teachings of the transactional gospel, a religious paradigm where material wealth is perceived as a sign of divine favour and God’s acceptance. The research objectives are ‘investigate the impact of transactional gospel teaching on youth involvement in cyber fraud and examine the impact of materialistic adorations on youth involvement in cyber fraud’. The work was anchored on the Calvinist model, a derivation of Weber's ‘Protestant Ethics and the Spirit of Capitalism’. Warri Metropolis is the study scope because of the prevalence of what the study seeks to achieve. The study was both qualitative and quantitative in the sense that it explored the views of stakeholders (religious leaders and youths) using interviews; also, copies of questionnaires were distributed to 400 youths within the age frame of 15–35 years. Descriptive statistics were used to analyse the respondent’s social demographic characteristics, and the inferential statistics (Pearson Product Moment Correlation) were adopted to analyse the hypothesis of the study. The SPSS version 23 was used in analysing the data. The study concluded that there is a significant relationship between transactional gospel teaching and youth involvement in internet fraud, and also there is a relationship between church materialistic adorations and youth involvement in internet fraud in the city of Warri. The study thus recommended that religious leaders should teach more on salvation and morality rather than prosperity. Again, there is a need for urgent public awareness in collaboration with NGOs, CAN, religious leaders and governments where church leaders and stakeholders can be educated on the danger of teaching the transactional gospel of materialism and the negative consequential effects on the youths in particular and society in general

No full textU radu se daje prikaz i opis lakših i težih povreda službene dužnosti policijskih službenika u Republici Hrvatskoj, uz prikaz povijesnih propisa o povredama službene dužnosti, te prakse Disciplinskog suda Ministarstva unutarnjih poslova, Upravnog i Ustavnog suda Republike Hrvatske. Autor posebno ukazuje na važnost povrede službene dužnosti "nedolično ponašanje u službi ili izvan službe kada šteti ugledu službe“ temeljem koje, a zbog važnosti njihove ulo-ge, policijski službenici odgovaraju disciplinski i za kršenje propisa izvan radnog vremena. Naposljetku, autor zaključuje da je zakon u bitnome uspio brojnim opisima povreda "pokriti“ sva teža kršenja službene dužnosti, ali i predlaže određene pravne kvalifikacije kojima bi se još jasnije i cjelovitije propisala zabranjena i kažnjiva ponašanja. U odnosu na lakše povrede službene dužnosti autor predlaže da se dodatni opisi povreda propišu pravilnikom čelnika Mi-nistarstva unutarnjih poslova.This paper provides an overview and description of minor and serious violations of official duty by police officers in the Republic of Croatia, with an insight into historical regulations on violations of official duty, as well as the practice of Disciplinary Tribunal at the Ministry of Interior, Administrative and Constitutional Court of the Republic of Croatia. The author emphasises the importance of violati-ons of official duty, "inappropriate behaviour on or off duty when it damages the reputation of the service", on the grounds of which, and due to the importance of their role, police officers are disciplinary responsible even for the violations which take place off duty. Finally, the author conclu-des that the law, in its essence, by including numerous descriptions of violations, manages to "cover" all major violations of official duty, as well as suggests certain legal qualifications which would more clearly and in more details proscribe the forbidden and punishable behaviour. Regarding minor viola-tions of official duty the author suggests additional descriptions of violations to be proscribed by regu-lations of the Ministry of the Interior
