Abstract

In recent time, urban crime wave have been on the increases in the metropolis of Calabar and environments. The incidence rate is variegated in time and space. The spatial variation or sporadicity dimension is one source of concern as well as the temporal prevalence considering bogus scope of the two parameters the research team settled for the spatial perspectives which informs the choice of the research title ? coconnection between crime prevalence and urban images in Calabar Cross River State? Accordingly, for meaningful and representative coverage the study area was demarcated in city blocks on the paraphenalia of land use/landscape images. From this, urban crime matrix was developed based on filed data collected from the designated locales. A single hypothesis was formulated for data analysis using the technique of chi-square(x2) statistical analysis. The result showed that there was a significant variation in crime wave prevalence inline with urban environmental images in the result therefore was conformal with the geodemograpghic? model of Oluwole and Ojo (2018) which state that similar people with similar characteristics are likely to occupy similar or the same geographic space or locality. This insight lays a solid foundation and urban environmental planning generally.
