WorerR.N. in 1879 the Hausa Police was farther enlarged by the reclamation of further men substantially from the Hausa and was named Hausa fuzz. It also comported of 1200 officers and commanded by an Inspector- General of police. Duty was substantially military in character. Although the men were anticipated to perform some civil duties one of similar military duties was the provision of detachment of 8 officers and 251 men for the Arochukwu.

1. To estimate the model concerning crime rate

2. To test the normalcy of the model( using normal probability plot) in order to see if the data can be used for the analysis

3. To read the unborn cases of crime using time series model

4. To suggest the possible means of eradicating crime.
