This mixed-methods research aims to bring together key development concerns related to sustainable livelihoods, social vulnerability, and poverty to build an alternative account of 'insecurity and crime' in African cities where the lines between legality and illegality, formality and informality, licit and illicit work, are often blurred in practice. We argue that the study of insecurity and crime in African cities requires a more nuanced understanding of African urbanisation patterns and historical legacies of uneven development. Situated at the nexus of population modelling, criminology, African studies, and urban geography, this project aims to challenge prevailing Euro-centric narratives of crime and victimisation through an innovative mixed-methods study. Combining statistical modelling, geovisualisation and ethnographic insights, the research aims to develop location appropriate approaches to investigate perceptions and seasonal trends of crime and victimisations in a West African city, situating the research within the broader context of African urbanisation, environment-induced seasonal migration, youth un-employment and informal economies.

这种混合方法的研究旨在汇集与可持续生计，社会脆弱性和贫困有关的关键发展问题，以建立非洲城市的“不安全和犯罪”的替代账户，合法与非法，正规与非正规，合法与非法工作之间的界限在实践中往往是模糊的。我们认为，在非洲城市的不安全和犯罪的研究需要非洲的城市化模式和不平衡发展的历史遗产更细致入微的理解。该项目位于人口建模，犯罪学，非洲研究和城市地理学的核心，旨在通过创新的混合方法研究来挑战流行的以欧洲为中心的犯罪和犯罪化叙述。结合统计建模，地理可视化和人种学的见解，该研究旨在制定适合当地的方法来调查西非城市犯罪和再犯罪的看法和季节性趋势，将研究置于非洲城市化，环境引起的季节性移民，青年失业和非正规经济的更广泛背景下。
