Games Theory and its practical implementation were the topics of this paper. The misuse of physical
force during investigations, the use of numerous (or fake) confessions from suspects, and the
wrongful conviction of suspects were among the illegal practices and individuals under scrutiny that
Games Theory sought to address. The purpose of this study was to investigate the potential of game
theory in the fight against crime. A more strategic approach is required to promote solutions to
insecurity, yet the significance of a society free of crime cannot be overstated given the high degree of
insecurity. Two criminal suspects are confined in different rooms and are unable to interact with one
another; this article use the prisoner's dilemma scenario to illustrate this point. In addition, the
research topic was thoroughly examined using a quantitative manner. Sources for the data used in
this study came from a systematic sample of authors' prior publications. Because of the terrible
conditions in most Nigerian prisons, this study set out to investigate some particularly egregious
instances of police misconduct and to learn the truth from those under investigation by applying the
principles of game theory. The goal is to expedite the administration of justice and to find effective
ways to reduce prison overcrowding.
