Population of crime victims neglect is on the increase, however, developed societies are making considerable effort to understand the menace and address it. Unfortunately, this has not been the case for developing countries like Nigeria. Nigeria has not yet recognized the complex origins or the profound consequences of neglecting victims of crime. This paper discusses the perception of the victims of crime neglect. Using quantitative approach and cross-sectional survey research design, a sample of 604 respondents was drawn from Enugu urban. Multi-stage and purposive sampling techniques were used to reach the respondents. A questionnaire instrument was used to generate data. Following descriptive statistics, data were analyzed, interpreted and organized in tables and frequencies. The stated hypotheses were tested using Spearman’s rank correlation coefficient (Spearman rho) and T-test. We found that most crime victims in Enugu urban are neglected and public perception of police efforts towards crime control in Enugu urban is discouraging. The study calls for a Non-Governmental Investigation Agency (NGIA) to be set up. This agency shall be driven by human right groups under the police but will be funded in partnership with Non-Governmental Organizations (NGO’s) so as to curtail unlawful extortion of crime victims.
