Abstract

One-chance transit crime is a prevalent yet under-researched form of transit crime in Nigeria. Thus, this study investigated the crime and the victimization experiences of commuters in Ibadan city. Routine activity theory was employed as theoretical framework. Data were generated from victims of the crime, police personnel and motor-park officials through in-depth interviews and focus group discussion methods. Findings revealed that one-chance transit crime is commonly perpetrated by criminals making use of taxis for commercial transportation. Money and mobile phones of commuters were the major targets of this category of criminals. One-chance transit criminals are luring their victims through different strategies.
