INTRODUCTION
The abovementioned situations are what every Filipino wishes for. It is also what
every law enforcement agency aims for. These are possible only if the neighborhood, the
roads, parks, homes and commercial establishments are safe places for all persons at all
times. To make this scenario true may be wistful thinking. Many will say it is not
attainable. But at least, there must be concerted efforts among the citizens, the
government, and the law enforcement to reduce the crime rate, and to contain those social
There is a need to improve the police image which has been tarnished by the

The society today is faced with various social problems and concerns. One of
these problems is criminality, which affects all parts of the country and every aspect of
community life. The problem of criminality is aggravated due to the population growth,
unemployment and rapid urbanization. There is no single formula and theory that can
explain the vast range of criminal behavior. A criminal could be a shoplifter stealing
goods from a grocery store, a pleasant young man who suddenly and inexplicably

of thought or perspectives. Each of these perspectives maintains its own view of what
definition of crime. The three most common concepts of crime used by criminologists are
consensus view, conflict and interactionist view. The consensus view is the belief that the
majority of citizens in a society share common values and agree on what behaviors
should be defined as criminal. The conflict view is the belief that criminal behavior is

defined by those in a position of power to protect and advance their own self-interest. On
the other hand, the interactionist view is the belief that those with social power are able to
impose their values on society as a whole, and these values then define criminal behavior
(Siegel:2008)
Generally, a criminal act must be completed for a crime to exist. However, there
are some exceptions to this rule. When a person is unsuccessful in the commission of a
crime, that person can be charged with criminal attempt. In addition, once an agreement
is made between two or more people to commit a crime, they are guilty of conspiracy.
The level of “evilness” is the basis of typology of crimes. Mala in se, Latin for “evil in
itself”, refers to crimes that are intrinsically evil, such as murder. Although societies may
differ on the details of acts that constitute murder, all prohibit the behavior. This term is
in contrast with mala prohibita, Latin for “wrong because it is prohibited,” which refers
to activities that have been clawed not because they are obviously evil, but because they
Co-extensive with the typology of crimes are the basic elements or ingredients for

propensity.

enormous. Fear grips the community because of the occurrence of violent crimes. The
crime situation in the country has risen into an alarming degree. The press, radio, social
media and television draws an ugly picture of the crime situation, forcing the government
and the community to look hard into the situation and focus their attention to finding
solutions to this problem. The law enforcement agencies, the local government units, and
the community should work together in order to reduce crime and increase public safety.
The police needs to strengthen their ties with the community. The criminal justice system
must be effective since its failure would exacerbate the situation. The community must
support the crime prevention efforts of the government as well as institute crime
prevention program.

According to Skogan and Frydl (2006), while the available evidence supports the
assertion that hot spots policing is effective, there are important gaps in our knowledge
about it. Clearly, the enforcement-oriented strategies reviewed here work in preventing
crime. We do not know, however, which enforcement strategies are more effective in
preventing crime and under what circumstances certain strategies are more appropriate.
For instance, we do not know whether many of the observed crime-control gains were

does not unravel the important question of whether enforcement-oriented programs result
in long-term crime reductions in hot spot areas. Comparison periods to detect potential

little insight into the effectiveness of enforcement tactics relative to other broader-based

One approach in crime prevention was based on the concept of the crime
prevention triangle: desire, ability and opportunity. According to Hallock (2001) as cited
by Gubatan (2011), taking away any of the three elements of the crime triangle, prevents
the occurrence of crime. He further suggested that opportunity is the easiest component to
control which can break the crime prevention triangle to win the battle against crime.

As Timpac (2011) stated in his thesis, crime prevention in any public or privately
based initiative or policy aimed at reducing or eliminating criminal behavior and violence
in the community.
Fernandez (2001) as cited by Gubatan (2011) focused on the major changes in the
PNP towards the achievement of its “Moral Recovery Program”. This could enhance the
image of the police to gain the confidence of the public. This study helped build the
image of police organization and it cascades to the personnel of the Baguio City Police
Office. Based on the result of this study, the PNP’s knowledge on community-oriented
policing system is the change in behavior and attitudes that envision the following: 1)
Improved police-community relations hinged on the notion that community should not
fear the police so that the PNP image will improve; 2) Since the community now trusts
the people, crime reporting will improve; 3) The community will then have a feeling of
safety and security because policing becomes everybody’s concern; and 4) When the
community and the police work in partnership, opportunities to commit criminal acts will
be reduced, hence, crime volume and crime rate will drastically go down, and a peaceful

ground is attributed to the shift in police philosophy and strategy from “precinct-based,
special units competing with territorial police formations for meager personnel and
material resources of the PNP. He also indicated in his study that while the role of said

and local studies differ slightly as to the strategies in crime prevention. Most crime
prevention strategies being used by the Philippine National Police (PNP) today is/are

The book of Vicente (2013) was used to describe some fundamentals of crime as

is not present no crime to talk about. The elements are intent, opportunity and
