Establishing Robust Criminology and Security Studies Programs

This milestone positioned Chuka University as a leading institution for criminology research and education in the region.
Expanding Academic Resources Through Book Donations

His influence also fosters a research-driven environment, encouraging the exploration of contemporary security challenges and innovative solutions.
The integration of his scholarly work into the university’s curriculum strengthens Chuka University’s position as a hub for criminology education in Kenya and beyond.
Conclusion
