The importance of crime witnesses in policing and crime control cannot be overemphasized. In Nigeria, a constant impediment in the effective operation of the criminal justice system machineries is the non-cooperation of crime witnesses with personnel of the Nigeria Police Force. Against this background, this paper examines the causes and consequences of crime witnesses' non-cooperation in police investigations in Nigeria. Rational choice theory was employed for its theoretical anchorage. A wide range of socio-cultural factors were identified as sustaining the traditional communication gap between the Police and crime witnesses that possess vital information which can aid their crime investigation. The Nigeria Police Force is urged to develop a holistic road-map through which the level of public confidence in its operation can be boosted.

This chapter briefly identifies important societal events and governmental responses that set the stage for the emergence of the specialty of police psychology, provides the names and departments of early practitioners (1963-1990) of police psychology, and explains how the current definition of police psychology was developed, with its four domains and 55 proficiencies. The maturation of the specialty is outlined from its recognition as an American Psychological Association (APA) proficiency, to the creation of an American Board of Police & Public Safety Psychology (ABPPSP) specialty board, and most recently to its recognition as an APA specialty.

The public's perception of police legitimacy is viewed through the lens of procedural justice (Tyler, 2003). Legitimacy it is a perception held by an audience (Tankebe & Liebling, 2013). Tyler (2006, p. 375) defines legitimacy as “a psychological property of an authority, institution, or social arrangement that leads those connected to it to believe that it is appropriate, proper, and just.” Four aspects of the police contact that affects a citizen's view: active participation in the decision-making, the decision-making is neutral and objective, trustworthy motives, and being treated with dignity and respect (Tyler, 2004). Accordingly an officer should act in a way that supports citizen's active participation, conveys an air of neutrality, and enhances dignity and respect. One way an officer can transmit his intent is through communicative intelligence. Communicative intelligence is a communication theory based on five capabilities (Zoller, 2015). These authors intend to link communicative intelligence to behaviors officers should engage in to enhance PJ and improve PL.

The wholesale importation of European laws into Korea, including the criminality of a woman undergoing an abortion, is called into question. In order to determine Korean attitudes among the professionals involved in the maintenance and prosecution of the law, a questionnaire was sent out to physicians, judges, public prosecutors, and practicing lawyers in Seoul and Pusan concerning their attitudes toward birth control and abortion, the criminality of abortion, and the influence of religion upo n abortion attitudes. An overwhelming 86.5% considered birth control "very necessary." 78.6% though abortion was "sometimes necessary," and 67.5% thought that "many" abortions were being performed in Korea. 81.4% felt that abortion was justifiable for certain causes. Chief among these were: ill health of the pregnant woman (90.1%), possible birth defect (87.6%), rape (62.8%), and single status of pregnant woman (32.2). Religious attitudes and profession tended to influence the reason's one considered abortion wrong. To have laws that are rarely enforced and are not supported by the people is considered bad morally as it tends to undermine faith in the legal system. Rescinding the law on criminal abortion or revising it to permit abortion on justifiable grounds is recommended.
