Land is an emotive issue in Kenya because it is perceived to bear significant political, economic, socio-cultural and development value to the lives of the people. This study was aimed at assessing the prevalence of land-related crimes and offences in different parts of the country as a baseline study.
The study established that the most prevalent land-related crimes and offences were: interfering with land boundaries and beacons, trespass, land fraud and/or exploitation, forcible entry and land-related forgery. Furthermore, the study found out that the main causes of land-related crimes and offences were greed by a section of land owners, depravity, land grabbing, delay in issuance of title deeds, fraudulent double or multiple allocation and sale of land and land succession disputes.
