Silvano Mutembei Mbiuki | Dr. Resila Onyango

Abstract: Security is a key pillar to socio - economic development and prosperity in every society. Kenya has made significant achievements in the efforts to prevent crime within the communities, by utilizing community policing and NWI. This study investigates the impact of remunerating the community leaders on the effectiveness of Neighbourhood Watch Initiative NWI in crime management in Isinya Sub County, Kenya. Employing descriptive statistical analysis of data collected from 105 respondents, the study reveals that inadequate remuneration negatively affects community engagement in NWI activities. It suggests that structured and adequate remuneration can enhance participation and information sharing, contributing to the initiatives success. The study underscores the importance of financial incentives in community - based crime management strategies.
