Criminology Thesis Final

An Assesment to People of Brgy.
Wawa towards the Development of their Trust to PNP
CHAPTER I
INTRODUCTION
Background of the Problem
One of the primary keys to successful law enforcement is good police- community
relations, or the relationship between the police and the communities they serve. Good police-
community relations are imperative for developing trust between police and citizens. Without
this trust, police work becomes much less effective. Even if the police are preventing crime, the
people may not feel safe because there is no trust. So, the community needs some help improving
police community relationship.
According to RA 8551, “The Philippine National police shall be a community and
service oriented agency for the maintenance of peace and order and public safety. This PNP
shall be so organized to ensure accountability and uprightness in police exercise of discretion as
well as to achieve efficiency and effectiveness of its members and units in the performance of
their function”.
The Philippine National police are responsible and accountable in trying to ensure the
security of the community. They are preventing crimes through responding to routine incidents.
Investigating crimes and apprehending offenders is a part of a police’s work. Police also respond
to the emergencies to help out. In addition to all of their duties, police need to provide support
service for their town. In so doing, the Philippine National Police shall be a more accessible and
indispensible partner of the community in more efficient and effective ways.

An Assesment to People of Brgy. Wawa towards the Development of their Trust to PNP
According to Napolcom (National Police Commision), the distrust may have come from
negative news about the PNP and respondents personally hearing about negative stories on
policemen such as conniving in illegal activities, tolerating corruption and abusing authority. The
agency is still proving that they are doing their best to increase the trust rate of the Filipino.
There are some programs that might change the opinion and perception of the citizens. They are
also using the social media as one of their mediums in proving that they are trustworthy
personnel of the government.
Trust issue is one of the major concerns in the performance rating of the Philippine
National Police. It is when the people or the citizens still trust the policemen over their security
and safety. There are crimes or incidents that the policemen were involved like kidnapping,
involvement in illegal drugs and others. This will affect the trust of the community to our
policeman that my decrease their trust issue rating. The latest issue is about the ABS –CBN
program entitled “Ang Probinsyano” wherein the PNP chief addressed the program writer about
the bad characters of some policemen in the said program. The PNP chief believed that it can
influence the viewers and affect the trust of the citizens in real life situation.
The researcher deemed it necessary to conduct this study to discern the perceptions of
residents in Brgy. Wawa Nasugbu Batangas towards Philippines National Police trust issue. In so
doing, students were provided with new and meaningful learning experiences which motivated
them to be more engaged in the subjects promoting their learning.
Theoretical and Conceptual Framework

Theorization and research on the police officers’ trust are rare. Yang (2005) noted that a
theory of improving citizens’ trust is incomplete without an explanation of administrators’ trust
is in citizens because trust is mutual and reciprocal. Siren (2012) stated that fruitful cooperation
between the police and citizens requires mutual trust citizen trust in the police and police officers
trust in citizens.
The study is guided by a conceptual model utilizing the Coomb’s System Approach
involving three frames. The input, process and output. The first frame which refers to the input
consist of the demographic profile of the respondents. The second frame reflects the process.
This presents the process of utilized in the study, the utilization of questionnaire, collection,
tallying of data, analysis and interpretation. Third frame presents the output of the study, the
proposed development program to enhance the relationship between community and the
Philippines National Police.

This gave the researcher broader perspective which aid the researchers in conceptualizing and
understanding of the study of Police Beat System. The literature and studies cited will help the
researchers in the interpretation of findings.
RELATED LITERATURE
Local
Director General Nicanor A. Bartolome, Chief of the Philippine National Police (PNP),
ordered all policemen doing office work to go out and render at least four hours of security
patrols in their areas of jurisdiction.“They will now be conducting patrol before they go to the
office and before they go home,” said Bartolome. The target time will be from 8:00 a.m. to 10:00
a.m. in the morning and from 3:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m. in the afternoon. According to Bartolome,
the PNP objective is to make use of that time on matters that need the police concerns most,
which is patrolling the streets”. It was implemented by Bartolome in Metro Manila while he was
director of the National Capital Region Police Office (NCRPO).

After the assessment that it was effective, Bartolome said he wants to implement it across
the country because aside from policemen doing office work, he said some policemen in other
units will also be required to conduct beat patrol.
He, however, clarified that only those assigned in areas where the threat of big rebel
groups like communist and Moro rebels will be tapped for patrol. “Some of those assigned in
internal security operations will be used for visibility because we all know that it is an essential
component to prevent crime,” said Bartolome.
Moreover, Abat (2013) stated that in Davao City, the police station is increasing police
visibility in communities to reduce the numbers of crimes. Most of the policemen are outside for
advocacy programs and to maximize visibility. And also don’t let the ride in a mobile since
mostly they are on foot patrol to observe more the community safety, this way they could easily
establish connection with the community against criminal acts. Policemen also go house-to-
house in different villages in subdivision within the area of their responsibilities to make sure
that they are safe by the police force.
Hence, Rińen (2014), stated that Cebu City is further strengthening police visibility in
public areas where implemented by the police as part of their strategy to lower street crimes in
program dubbed Metro Cebu Comprehensive Deployment System (MCCDS) which in this
program they will maximize police visibility out in the streets to prevent crimes from happening
and witness more augmentation of policemen out in the streets in beat, foot, and mobile in covert
operations. “The response to street crimes is always police presence”, apart from increasing the
number of policemen in foot and mobile patrols, other strategies that will be employed the
establishment of checkpoints, deployment of covert personnel and with all these done in random
manner
Therefore, safety is a freedom from harm or danger and the state of being safe which
every person assures in the place they were living and for their daily lives. People need to feel
safe at all times under any circumstances. It does not matter if you are at home, at work, at
school, travelling at social event or in desperate need of emergency assistance.
Foreign
According to Levinson (2004), “the patrol exercise is not only limited to crime control
but also to reduce the fear within the neighborhood”. This builds stronger relationship between
police and community and wins the resident trust. Therefore, patrolling is one way of securing,
protecting, preserving the life and property and assuring the safety of the people in the
community.
Omaha police are stepping up their presence in two well-known neighborhoods. The new
beat patrols will hit the streets of Dundee and Benson at 5:30 p.m. each night with the goal of
keeping everyone in these busy neighborhoods safer.
Capt. Shayna Ray said with a newly graduated class, there are now more officers on the
street. It's welcome news for Megan Hunt and her business partner, who just opened up the Hello
Holiday shop in Dundee.
Definitely having cops doing a beat in the Dundee neighborhood, as well as the Benson
neighborhood, would not only make the nightlife scene a little bit safer for everybody, but just
give some peace of mind to the business owners in the whole area.
Hence, officers are to become experts in the area, they are supposed to reach out to the
community, they're supposed to be out on foot patrol and bike patrol “Reyes said”.
This unique shift will allow them to focus on those demand times, as well as be a little
more proactive in the area," said City Council President Pete Festersen.
The new beat will also reach out to residential areas, where Ray says they're trying to put
a dent in burglaries.
Moreover, beat policing is based on traditional policing (late 19th century) and utilizes
the close relationship with the community members within the assigned beat to strengthen police
effectiveness and encourage cooperative efforts to make a safer community. Beat police typically
patrol on foot or bicycle which provides more interaction between police and community
members (Miller 2013).
Foreign Study
Random preventive patrol strategies are based on the idea that visible police presence in
an area provides a general deterrent effect on crime and that, subsequently, the general public’s
fear of crime is reduced by that same police presence. It would be expected, as a result, that
crimes that would normally take place in fairly public areas, such as general property offenses or
street crimes, would be more significantly impacted by preventive patrolling practices, whereas
offenses typically committed in relative seclusion would be less susceptible to the deterrence
effects of preventive patrolling. The utilization of police resources for random preventive patrol
activities is, however, ineffective at deterring crime and apprehending offenders. Research
suggests that targeted preventive activities in strategic zones where the majority of crimes occur,
or when treatments driven by specific policies or practices aimed at meeting strategically defined
goals are utilized, is far more effective in reducing crime (Sherman &Weisburd, 1995).
The first study that aimed to discern the effectiveness of preventive patrolling practices
took place in Kansas City, Missouri in 1972-1973. The Kansas City Preventive Patrol
Experiment took place within fifteen beats, and each beat was assigned to a proactive group
where preventive patrols were increased, a control group where no changes were made to
preventive patrolling practices, or a reactive group where preventive patrolling was suspended
(Kelling et al., 1974). Generalized, the findings of the Kansas City Experiment showed no
significant impact on crime deterrence, citizen fear of crime, community attitudes toward the
police, or police response time (Kelling et al., 1974).
The Kansas City Experiment suffered from a number of errors in methodology, as
outlined by Larson (1975), but also provided a number of interesting facts surrounding patrol
deployment and perceived police presence as an unintended by-product. It is important to first
note the most applicable shortcomings identified in the Kansas City Experiment in order to
understand why the general finding that preventive patrol activities appeared to have no
significant impact cannot be taken at face value. Perhaps most importantly, the areas designated
as reactive beats still received a significant visible police presence through responses to service
calls, the routine operations of specialized units, and patrol-initiated activities such as building or
car checks and stopping motorists for traffic violations. Further, as a result of using multiple
patrol units dispatched in response to calls for service in the reactive groups, and coupled with an
increased use of emergency lights and sirens, there was no diminished public awareness of a
police presence in these areas.
In essence, according to Larson (1975), the nature and design of the Kansas City
Experiment served to empirically test whether patrol units could be spatially redistributed within
a confined region or zone without an actual or perceived degradation in service, instead of

actually testing whether preventive patrol practice were effective. Understanding the
shortcomings of the Kansas City Experiment results in a clearer understanding of why the
conclusion that routine preventive patrol activity has little or no value is not justifiable. In fact,
Larson’s (1975) analysis of the experiment provides the framework for understanding Sherman
and Weisburd’s (1995) hypothesis that patrol dosage in the Kansas City Experiment actually
varied by a statistically insignificant amount from normal patrol levels, which is why the Kansas
City Experiment seemingly provided support for the concept that preventive patrol has no effect
even though other studies provided contradictory evidence and conclusions. It is through targeted
patrol dosage in specific zones, or hot spots, and through the use of strategically defined
objectives during patrol activities, that the effectiveness of certain types of preventive patrol
efforts becomes identifiable.
However, in United Kingdom there is a program that have been evaluated specific safety
outcomes and found improvements due to the presence of police in some areas. These programs
hold lessons for community safety in the United Kingdom. Police Visibility is a comprehensive
community and citizen safety program that incorporates many interventions and partners to
improve safety and to create safer working environments and safer communities. There is
evidence that visibility of police has reduced offending behavior and victimization, reduced
crime rates, and has provided safer environments. Citizen in the community report that they felt
safer since the program was introduced. Other benefits of the visibility of police was establish to
improved relations between people and the police, and increase the level of respect people have
for their fellow citizens.
Sherman and Weisburd (1995), McGarrell et al. (2001), and Braga (2001) all provide
insights into the effects of “hot spot” policing, which is a form of place-oriented preventive
patrol. McGarrell et al. (2001) also examined the effects of providing a clear strategic goal for
officers during preventive patrol activities, namely the locating and seizure of illegally possessed
firearms, and its subsequent effect on crime. These studies provide the basis for the conclusion
that certain preventive patrol practices are effective under certain circumstances and random
preventive patrol activities are ineffective, even though the conclusions of the aforementioned
Kansas City Experiment dominated police thinking about patrol strategies for more than two
decades (Sherman &Weisburd, 1995).
Tested the effects of intensified, but intermittent, patrol on identified “hot spots” of
criminal activity in Minneapolis, Minnesota. In the study, one hundred and ten locales were
identified and split into two even groups, with the experimental group receiving substantially
increased levels of patrol dosage as opposed to the control group. It is worth noting that the
experiment was designed only to measure the effect of heightened police presence at these
locations, and that the activities of officers during the time they were within each zone was not
restricted; in fact, the observed activities of officers during the time spent within the boundaries
of the hot spot included activities unrelated to patrol, such as reading, sunning, and general
conversation. The study found clear, albeit modest, general deterrence effects as a result of
increased police presence in the targeted areas, though with two caveats: first, there was no test
of whether criminal activity was merely displaced to other areas so general deterrence effects
throughout the community cannot be claimed, and second, the experiment had not been
replicated and therefore may be limited in external validity thus far.

Along a similar line of inquiry, evaluated the effect of directed patrol efforts, wherein
police units were freed from the responsibility of responding to calls for service and were
instructed to proactively patrol their assigned neighborhood with an emphasis on locating and
seizing illegally owned firearms. Two different methodologies were utilized in order to examine
the effects of a general deterrence approach versus a specific deterrence approach: in target area
one, police were instructed to increase traffic stops to maximum levels in order to create a sense
of significantly increased police presence, testing a general deterrence strategy that was also
anticipated to lead to seizures of illegal weapons and drugs; in target area two, police were
instructed to focus on investigating suspicious persons, a specific deterrence strategy, and
conducting more thorough investigations for illegal weapons and drugs with each suspicious
person. Interestingly, the results of the study show a significant reduction in firearms related
crimes in the specific deterrence beat, but actually show an increase in the general deterrence
beat. One possible explanation provided by McGarrell et al. (2001), for the success of the
targeted offender/specific deterrence approach lies in the possible interpretation of police actions
within that zone, as a result of proactive, directed preventive patrol efforts, as heightened
surveillance as well as removing firearms from those potential offenders most likely to use them.
In effect, a directed strategy for preventive patrol activities in higher crime locations yields a
significant impact in the reduction of violent crimes.
According to Bragas (2001), he stated that perhaps the most compelling evidence for the
effectiveness of place-oriented preventive patrol as opposed to random preventive patrol analysis
and systematic review of “hot spot” policing studies. Out of nine studies, seven showed
noteworthy crime reductions as a result of place-oriented patrol activities, and it should be noted
that intervention types ranged among three broad categories: enforcement problem-oriented-
policing (POP) interventions, directed and aggressive patrol programs, and the use of
crackdowns and raids. It is also important to note that methodological problems in the research
and evaluation designs of two studies most likely accounts for the lack of observed reduced
criminal activity in said studies, and the remaining study showing no discernable impact on
reducing crime suffered from issues in implementation that could account for a lack of
significance in results. Overall, review contributes to a growing body of research evidence
supporting the conclusion that targeting “hot spots” of crime with focused, strategic intervention
efforts is effective at reducing crime, both at the targeted zone and in surrounding areas, and is
far more effective than random preventive patrol activities. These findings also provide positive
indications that displacement of crime from a targeted zone to a less actively patrolled zone may
be unfounded, though only five of the studies review measured the potential displacement of
criminal activity.
Given the briefly summarized results of the aforementioned experiments and systematic
reviews, it is difficult to justify random preventive patrol efforts in light of far more effective
results from directed patrol activities in the reduction of crime. Theoretically, random preventive
patrol activities should provide general deterrence effects for publicly visible crimes, such as
vandalism, disorderly conduct, robberies and burglaries, and potentially aggravated assault.
However, targeted patrol activities appear to have the same effect with regards to increased
public visibility in providing a level of general deterrence while simultaneously providing far
more effective specific deterrence effects, as noted in the studies and reviews above. Therefore,
the effectiveness of random preventive patrol activities is conclusively inefficient when

compared with other methods of targeting and reducing criminal activity within any given zone
(Braga, 2001).
CHAPTER III
RESEARCH METHODOLOGY AND PROCEDURES
This chapter presents the method and procedures that used by the researchers in
accomplishing this research study. This includes the research design, the population, the
sampling method, the data collecting procedures, Statistical Treatment of Data and Data Analysis
that were used in our study.
RESEARCH DESIGN
The researchers used a descriptive type of research design strategy. The purpose of this is
to describe the nature of a situation as it exists at the time of the study and to explore the course
of particular phenomena. At the same time, the researchers gathered informal interview and
distributing survey questionnaire to the respondents from people who are exposed in it. Some of
the materials and information were found from different sources such as online materials,
libraries and etc.

SOURCE OF DATA
The researchers used the survey questionnaires as the primary source of data in their
study. They also gathered some information while conducting a survey so they can get additional
information. In addition to that, books and materials are used to get information that is useful to
the study and consider as the secondary source of data.
RESEARCH LOCATION
The study was conducted at Barangay Wawa Nasugbu, Batangas with the total number of
390 respondents. The respondents are ages 18 years old and above who answered the survey
questionnaires in order to collect necessary data useful for the present study. The researchers
decided to conduct this research at Barangay Wawa Nasugbu, Batangas because according to
Senior Police Officer Roger Montemar “Ang Barangay Wawa ang isa sa may pinaka mataas na
crime rate sa Nasugbu. Halimbawa nito ang mga kaso tulad ng: Alarming Scandal, Attemtpted
murder cases, at Confiscation of unlicensed firearms at drugs.”
STATISTICAL TOOLS
The results gathered from the survey questionnaire were tallied, tabulated, analyzed and
interpreted. Computation of the weighted mean was employed in the treatment of data.
The researcher used the Likert Summated Scale Rating, it is one of the most frequently
used methods for assesment of people characteristics, especially attitudes, each scale item has 5
response categories ranging from strongly agree or strongly disagree. The researcher used this
because the questionnaires were qualitative. Weighted points were assigned for quantitative
analysis and equivalent ratings were determined. The weighted mean was obtained by
multiplying the scale value of the responses indicating it and then dividing the total weighted
points by the number of responses.
For the purpose of scoring, each of the options was given the corresponding weight as follows:
Options Weight
Strongly Agree 5
Agree 4
Moderately Agree 3
Disagree 2
Strongly Disagree 1
The score on the scale is the average of the weights assigned to the particular responses
made by the respondents.
To be able to interpret the rating of the respondents on the scale, the following range of
weighted mean and their corresponding adjective ratings were observed.

Scale Mean Range Rating

5 4.51-5.00 Strongly Agree
4 3.51-4.50 Agree
3 2.51-3.50 Moderately Agree
2 1.51-2.50 Disagree
1 1.00-1.50 Strongly Disagree
SAMPLING METHOD
The researchers constructed a structured research design that used in gathering and
collecting data. The questionnaire for the respondents included the demographic profile of the
respondents, their responses on the provided questions with regards on PNP trust issue and the
issues that possibly affects their trust towards PNP (Philippine National Police) and proposed
program in developing and enhancing the relationship between community and the PNP.
DATA COLLECTION PROCEDURE
The researcher discussed in detail the study with the thesis adviser and sought the
permission for collecting the necessary data and the subjects (respondents) were explained about
the nature and purpose of the study.
The researcher gathered the data through distribution of the survey questionnaire and
Interview Schedule. Instructions of each part were made clear. The procedure of filling the form
was made clear to all of them. The form thus collected was scored as for the prescribed
procedure and the data obtained were recorded for analysis and interpretation.
The researcher also requested the respondents for their demographic profile for the data
gathering procedure. After being satisfied with the arrangement, the researcher instructed the
respondents to give their assessment and perception on the PNP trust Issue and ratings. They
were also informed that their career would not be affected as it was only an exercise for research
purpose and their responses would keep strictly confidential. Hence they should be free and
frank, honest and sincere in attempting the questions.
TABULATION AND INTERPRETATION OF DATA
The study involved the conduct of the assessment and interview with the residents of
Brgy. Wawa Nasugbu Batangas towards to Philippines National Police trust issue.
