Handling Social Deviants In Lagos Mainland, Nigeria

The book addresses the role of the church in ameliorating the menace of social deviants in Lagos Mainland, Nigeria. The main position of the book is to summon all to collaborate with the government in addressing the challenge of social deviants. The government has often provided vocational skills for these social deviants. In spite of this , they still carry on with their nefarious activities. The implication of this is that the problem of the social deviants has to do with their attitude and this can only be addressed through compassionate ecclesiastical approach. In this regards, the book argues that the church can apply basic Biblical principles in assisting the social deviants to change their negative paradigm. The efforts of the government should be complimented by the non-governmental organizations and the church in order to aggressively deal with the challenge of social deviants in Lagos Mainland in particular, and Nigeria in general, the book further argues. The book would be of immense value to the government of different nations, the Church, non-governmental organizations, and others who are interested in addressing the challenge posed by social deviants.
