Previous studies have identified clusters of crime in sub-urban areas in Europe and North America. There is limited evidence of whether similar patterns exist in Sub-Saharan Africa. This paper explores the spatial patterns of crime in a typical suburban area in Abuja-Nigeria. To date, the challenge is georeferenced datasets are unavailable at small scale. This study, therefore, utilises fieldworkers to carry out a door-to-door survey to capture incidents of crime at property level (N>3000). Preliminary analysis demonstrated that, as observed in Europe-American studies, crime clusters at sub-urban context in Nigeria. Future work will explore explanatory variables for the identified patterns
