dc.description.abstractThis study examined the types of criminality in selected banks, identified the types of security mechanism in the selected banks, the relationship between security mechanism and types of criminality, and assessed the human factor in the effectiveness of existing security mechanisms in the state. The study employed secondary data (Banks’ Crime Incident Reports) which were complemented by primary data sourced from banks’ employees through questionnaire. The study adopted descriptive research design and its data were presented in Tables of frequencies. The study found that armed robber and ATM fraud constituted the commonest types of conventional and online criminality respectively. It equally found over-dependence on inanimate security mechanisms such as CCTV, security doors, system security and alarm systems. These inanimate/mechanical security devices were, however, found to be incapable of preventing criminality in the participating banks. In addition, it was found that human or animate security agents were inadequate both in quantity and quality. The study concluded that Nigerian banks should invest in dynamite neutralizer, set-up security on their e-platforms, recruit professionals designated to monitor existing security mechanisms as well as more armed security personnel to reduce their vulnerability to both conventional and non-conventional criminalities.en_US
