Doing Justice without the State: The Afikpo (Ehugbo) Nigeria ModelThis study examines the principles and practices of the Afikpo (Eugbo) Nigeria indigenous justice system in contemporary times.

This book describes the processes of community empowerment, participatory justice system and how regular institutions of society that provide education, social and economic support are also effective in early intervention in disputes and prevention of conflicts. |
