Abstract

This article assesses the crime and crime level from Kinondoni Police regional stations. The determinants of crime are analyzed by using descriptive statistics and Multinomial Logistic Regression Model. The findings indicate seven determinants of crime. It points out that crime against property is the main category. Respondents with the following characteristics (youths, males, unemployed, with less earning, having low level of education and never married), are more likely to commit offences against person and crimes against property. The article suggests that police force has to review the effectiveness of its initiative of involving the community in policing and increase its finance, physical and human resources to match with growing population.
