While conversations about solutions have been mostly focused on better training or a need for community engagement, a brilliant idea is being overlooked: increasing the numbers of women in the Nigerian Police Force.
According to recent studies, female officers are less authoritarian in their approach to policing, less reliant on physical force and are more effective communicators.
