Abstract
Entrepreneurship and Small businesses have been increasingly recognised as one of the means of creating employment and reducing object poverty (PRSP, 2002). While many factors are said to be essential for successful prosperity of Small businesses, the questions are on the issues of safety and security to entrepreneurs on one hand, and the efforts taken by city authorities to institute and promote security measures on the other. To explore on these issues, researchers conducted exploratory research to identify the prevalence and extent of security (crime) problem in the city of Dares Salaam and how it inflicted entrepreneurship and Small Business Development endeavours. The findings revealed and indicated that there is modest level of crime in the city of Dar es Salaam and entrepreneurs and small business are suffering an immense loss as a result of escalating rate of crime.
