The study investigated the roles Amotekun Corps is playing in crime management in Akure South Local Government Area. The study adopted explorative research which shed more light on the operational roles of Amotekun Corps in the Akure South local government area. The study was structured with a quantitative research design. The desired sample size for the study is 200. The sample size was arrived at by using Taro Yamane’s sampling technique, analysed with the help of computer software called Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) Version 27. The analysis was completed using descriptive statistics in the form of percentages, frequencies and tables. It was revealed from the findings that community collaboration is essential and the Amotekun outfit collaborates with the community. Furthermore, the findings of the study revealed the benefit and essentiality of the deployment of officers to the community for effective jobs. It was also revealed that the Amotekun Corps has made some notable progress in fighting crime in the South-Western Region. It is no longer news that the Federal Republic of Nigeria is facing rising security issues across its six geographical zones. It was therefore recommended that the Amotekun operation must work in line with the new policy of the federal government over community policing to ensure collecting and gathering security information and addressing security issues at the local community’s level.

This study assesses the impact of a lack of parental involvement (PI) on the education of children with intellectual impairment in Bulawayo Metropolitan Province, Zimbabwe. The study aimed to assess how a lack of parental involvement impacts the education of children with intellectual impairments. The study deploys a qualitative research approach congruent with the case study. Bronfenbrenner’s (1979) Ecological Theory informs this study. The gap that this study seeks to show is that there is inadequate research on the impact of a lack of parental involvement in the education of children with intellectual impairment in Bulawayo Province. The study sample comprised the school head, seven teachers, and four parents. Focus group interviews and unstructured interviews were used to generate data. The findings from the study established that parents have limited knowledge of parental involvement and its benefits. Furthermore, it emerged that most parents with financial constraints have little involvement in their children’s education. The study recommends the need for capacity development among teachers and parents on parental involvement and its benefits. There is also a need for the central government to support parents with financial constraints through the provision of capital to start income-generating projects.
