This study examines crime distribution patterns across the three zones of Katsina State, namely: Southern, Central, and Northern. It also explores trends in crime rates, rainfall, and temperature. Crime data from the Department of Research and Planning Unit of Nigerian Police Force, State Headquarters’ Katsina State Command and climate data from the Nigerian Meteorological Agency (NiMet), Abuja, and the Climatic Research Unit (CRU) of the University of East Anglia from 1991 2020 were collected and analyzed using descriptive statistics, correlation, and regression techniques. The results reveal that non-violent crimes are significantly more prevalent than violent crimes across all regions, accounting for 65% to 80% of reported incidents. In contrast, violent crimes remain relatively low, with Matazu exhibiting the highest violent crime rate (40%). The Central zone records the highest overall crime levels, particularly in Matazu and Dutsin-Ma. Furthermore, crime trends show a correlation with temperature and rainfall. Areas with higher temperatures and lower rainfall, particularly in the Northern zone (Batagarawa, Daura), consistently experience high non-violent crime rates. Meanwhile, the Southern zone (Funtua, Kafur), which receives relatively more rainfall, has slightly lower crime rates. The study concludes that climate change and variability may influence crime patterns, with arid conditions potentially exacerbating non-violent offenses across the Katsina State. The study recommend that policymakers should integrate climate adaptation strategies into crime prevention policies.
