This study examines Challenges of Community Reentry for the Geriatric Inmate Population of Onitsha Correctional Centre, Anambra State. The research adopted reintegration theory as theoretical framework. The study revealed that geriatric inmates face significant community re-entry barriers which include; stigmatization, homelessness, poor access to healthcare, lack of social and financial support, etc. The study concludes that without deliberate, age-specific interventions, geriatric inmates upon release from correctional centres are likely to face serious challenges which will make their re-entry into their community a herculean task for them. It therefore recommends that the Nigerian Correctional Service should establish <strong>transitional housing schemes</strong> and <strong>geriatric-specific healthcare access programs</strong> for geriatric inmates to address the pressing issues of homelessness and medical neglect post-release, amongst others.</p>2026-04-18T00:00:00+00:00Copyright (c) https://www.thinkindiaquarterly.org/index.php/think-india/article/view/20749Public Perception of Corruption in the Police and Police-Community Relations in Ebonyi State, Nigeria2026-05-14T16:18:50+00:00Francis Ogbonnia Egwuijr@ijrjournal.comNlemchukwu Emmanuel Chigozirimijr@ijrjournal.comDaniel Chidiebere Onweijr@ijrjournal.comKenneth Umezulike Adindeijr@ijrjournal.comIgwe Kenneth Chiemekaijr@ijrjournal.comOnyeacho Chike ESQ ijr@ijrjournal.comIzuogu Augustineijr@ijrjournal.comNwadiani Grace Chineloijr@ijrjournal.com<p>The present study examined public perception of police corruption and police community relationship in Ebonyi State, Nigeria. The study adopted quantitative method of data collection, sampling of 399 which comprises 243 males and 156 females, with stratified and simple random sampling technique. The study is anchored on structural functionalism theory as its framework. The findings of the study revealed that the public tends to dislike the police and as such, do not trust the police which in turn, alienates positive police-community relationship. The high practice of bribery, corruption, extortion and brutality on citizens impedes the trust and confidence of the public towards to the police. The study recommends that there should be periodic host of mutual police-community programme and festive by the police to enhance positive relationship with the public. Active team should be established and improved on proper surveillance, monitoring, evaluation and auditing the activities of the police force.</p>2026-05-14T00:00:00+00:00Copyright (c)
