1.0   INTRODUCTION

2.0   This project is titled "Computerization of Crime Records and Information" taking Andaha (Akwanga L.G.A, Nassarawa State) Police Station as a case study. It would be a good start if we put more light on the words "Crime", "Record" and "Information". According to the Lambert Dictionary, crime could be defined as "an act of bridge of the law and order to the stated rules or law of a community". In other words, crime could be something which threatens serious injury to the community; or something believed to be capable of doing so. Record in the other hand can be defined as a collection of related data about something. These data could be for example; name, age, color, height, sex, address and etc. These record is being kept for different purpose of which include references and analyses. This can be used in areas such as security, education, research etc. when the need arises.
