Advancing research and dialogue on criminology, terrorism, political violence, and security governance.
Independent academic research initiative established in 2015
NACT-PVS brings together scholars, researchers, and practitioners interested in the study of criminology, terrorism, political violence, migration movements, and security governance.
The initiative encourages collaboration among researchers based in Nigeria, the African diaspora, and the wider international academic community. By facilitating scholarly dialogue and knowledge exchange, NACT-PVS seeks to contribute to a deeper academic understanding of contemporary security challenges and their broader implications for governance and development.
The network continues to grow through academic engagement, research collaboration, and scholarly exchange.

Examples of engagement include:
* academic conferences and research discussions
* collaborative research dialogue
* participation in scholarly forums and seminars
