Prevalence Rate of Index Crime and Non-Index Crime Recorded

from January to December 2022 in Allen, Catarman, and San
Roque.
 Prevalence rate is usually computed per 100,000

individuals in a particular area. However, since the

population of the municipalities involved in this study

which are Allen, with a total population of 27,043;

Catarman, with a total population of 94,037, and San Roque

with a total population of 30,580, which are less than

100,000, the computation is adjusted and reduced to per

10,000 individuals to make the presentation more easier to

understand. Table 4 presents the prevalence rate, per 10,000

individuals, of index crimes and non-index crimes recorded

in the municipalities of Allen, Catarman, and San Roque in

2022. Allen has an index crimes prevalence rate of 3.70 and

a non-index crimes prevalence rate of 31.43. This finding

shows that in every 10,000 individuals in Allen there are

about 4 victims of index crimes and about 31 victims of non-

index crime. Catarman has an index crimes prevalence rate of

4.68 and a non-index crimes prevalence rate of 27.86. This

finding means that in every 10,000 individual in Catarman

there are about 5 victims of index crimes and about 29

victims of non-index crimes. San Roque has an index crime

prevalence rate of 4.58 and a non-index crime prevalence

rate of 17.01. This implies that in every 10,000 individuals

in San Roque there are about 5 victims of index crimes and

about 17 victims of non-index crimes. Further, the data

shows that in terms of index crimes, among the 3

municipalities, Catarman has the higher rate while Allen has

the lowest rate, while in terms of non-index crimes, the

Allen has the higher rate and San Roque has the lowest rate.

Test of Difference in the Index Crimes Rate between the

Municipalities of Allen, Catarman, and San Roque

Table 5 shows the Analysis of Variance to test the null

hypothesis that there is no significant difference in the

index crimes prevalence rate between the municipalities of

Allen, Catarman, and Sa Roque. The Test of Homogeneity of

Variances table shows a Lavene Statistics Value of 0.220 and

a Significance Value of 0.805 which is higher than the alpha

value of 0.05 implies that the results in the Analysis of

Variance (ANOVA) Table is reliable. Therefore, the values

shown in the ANOVA table will be interpreted to determine

the probability of the occurrence of the null hypothesis.

The Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) table shows an F Value

of 0.006 and a Significance Value of 0.994 which is far

higher than the alpha value of 0.05 which means that the

null hypothesis is accepted and is therefore no significant

difference in the index crimes rate between the

municipalities of Allen, Catarman, and San Roque. In support

to the findings shown in ANOVA table, the Descriptive

Statistics table shows that the index crimes rate means of

Allen, Catarman, and San Roque, which are 0.740, 0.780, and

0.763 respectively, are so close or almost equal to each

other, thus, as find out in ANOVA table, the means are

statistically no significant difference.

Table 6 shows the Analysis of Variance to test the null

hypothesis that there is no significant difference in the

non-index crimes rate between the municipalities of Allen,

Catarman, and Sa Roque. The Test of Homogeneity of Variances

table shows a Lavene Statistics Value of 1.848 and a

Significance Value of 0.166 which is higher than the alpha

value of 0.05 implies that the results in the Analysis of

Variance (ANOVA) Table is reliable. Therefore, the values

shown in the ANOVA table will be interpreted to determine

the probability of the occurrence of the null hypothesis.

The Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) table shows an F Value

of 0.896 and a Significance Value of 0.413 which is higher

than the alpha value of 0.05 which means that the null

hypothesis is accepted and is therefore no significant

difference in the non-index crimes rate between the

municipalities of Allen, Catarman, and San Roque. The

Descriptive Statistics table shows that Allen has a mean of

1.654 and standard deviation of 2.521, Catarman has mean of

0.899 and standard deviation of 2.105, and San Roque with a

mean of 1.0 and a standard deviation of 0.717. Even if the

means of non-index crimes rate in the municipalities of

Allen, Catarman and San Roque is somewhat different from

each other, still it is statistically no significant

difference as found out in the results of the ANOA table.
