Abstract
This study investigated on involvement of Shehia Leadership on Crime Prevention in an Urban District of Zanzibar. The study employed the quantitative approach where data was collected from 83 respondents out of the study population of 223,033 at different levels in the Urban District at Unguja Island. A structured questionnaire was used to collect data and descriptive statistics was applied to come up with the results’ mean scores with the assistance of the Statistical Package for Social Sciences. The study established that Shehia leadership effectiveness was limited to assisting the marginalized and disadvantaged groups to get their rights, solving social challenges and preparing bylaws to be used on criminal prevention. Leaders did not take care to involve such government officers as teachers, social workers, doctors and police officers to join in various issues associated with crime prevention. The study recommended that Shehia leadership should go beyond assisting the marginalized and disadvantaged groups to get their rights, solving social challenges and preparing bylaws to be used on criminal prevention. Leaders should involve such government officers as teachers, social workers, doctors and police officers in dealing with various issues associated with crime prevention since such stakeholders have very important roles to perform toward crime prevention when involved.
