Theft of Mobile Phones

Theft of mobile phones among undergraduates of Nnamdi Azikiwe University Awka is my M.Sc. project which examined the manner in which phones were stolen among the students of the school. Both the qualitative and the quantitative methods of data collection and analysis were used in the study. The strain theory constituted the theoretical framework. The study found that theft of mobile phones is a regular phenomenon in the school. However, the frequency of theft of mobile phones in the school was observed to be less than alleged in the literature. The study recommended among others value re orientation as panacea to theft of mobile phones in the school.
