Abstract.
This paper is meant to evaluate the psych-social means of eliminating crime among secondary school students in Ebonyi State. Psycho-social means refers to the measures adopted by modifying ones needs or demands conforming to the social norms and values that enables an individual to five a satisfactory life, have adequate interpersonal relationship and above all helps to eliminate crime. It cannot, be denied that psycho-social means in no small measure serves as a panacea for productive life and equally
reduces violent crimes among the secondary school students. Therefore, the achievement of the goals of secondary education in Nigeria is highly determined by the behavioral repertoires of the students who are the fulcrum of all educational activities at that level. Crime such as violent crime, cybercafé crime among others adversely affect the academic achievement of the students and grossly militates against the goals of Nigerian secondary education. This paper therefore reveals that the psycho-social means of eliminating crime includes: improving economic conditions of the students, avoiding notorious activities, modifying ones needs and demands among other and will immensely help to sanitize the society.
