• After ranking of the incivility variables in the
neighbourhoods, Ekotedo was found to have higher
disorder and incivility level than Oluyole which exhibited
high level of social control.
• The analyses revealed significant relationships between
crime / fear of crime as a measure of insecurity and all
the nine neighbourhood disorder and incivility variables,
with correlation coefficient ranging from r = .234 to r =
.811 significant at p<0.001.
• Majority of the incivility variables also indicated a
strong association among themselves, indicating that a
disorder left uncontrolled serves as magnet for another
more serious disorder.
Conclusion & Recommendation:
The paper concluded that urban
neighbourhood can be made resilient to
insecurity problems if adequate attention
is given to solving the problems of
neighbourhood incivilities and
enthronement of social control.
