 CRIME CLOCK
CRIME CLOCK IS THE METHOD OR WAY USED BY LAW
ENFORCEMENT UNIT TO DESCRIBED THE FREQUENCY
OF CRIME THAT HAPPEN IN A CERTAIN PLACE.
 IT IS A HANDY WAY TO VISUALIZE HOW
MUCH CRIME TAKES PLACE. THIS DEVICE
TAKES THE NUMBER OF CRIMES KNOWN
TO THE POLICE AND CALCULATES HOW
OFTEN THESE OFFENSES OCCUR EVERY
TWENTY-FOUR
 PNP CRIME CLOCK

THE PNP PRIMARILY FOCUS ON CRIME VOLUME.

CRIME VOLUME IS THE NUMBER OF TOTALS
ALL CRIMES COMMITTED IN AN AREA
OVER A PERIOD OF TIME. CRIME VOLUME
IS COMPUTED BY ADDING THE TOTAL
NUMBER OF INDEX AND NON-INDEX
CRIMES TOGETHER.
INDEX CRIME
• INDEX CRIMES ARE CRIMES THAT THE PNP CONSIDERS “SERIOUS” AND WHICH OCCUR
WITH “REGULARITY” ACROSS ALL CITIES SO MUCH SO THAT ITS NUMBER CAN BECOME
AN INDEX OR GUIDE TO DETERMINE HOW CRIME-INFESTED AN AREA IS.

• INDEX CRIMES ARE CRIMES AGAINST PERSONS AND PROPERTY.

• EXAMPLE INDEX CRIME ARE CRIMES OF MURDER, HOMICIDE, PHYSICAL INJURY,

CARNAPPING,THEFT, RAPE AND ARSON.
NON INDEX CRIME
• NON-INDEX CRIMES ARE ALL OTHER ILLEGAL ACTS, USUALLY COVERED BY
SPECIAL LAWS, LIKE ILLEGAL LOGGING AND GAMBLING, OR BY VIOLATION OF
LOCAL ORDINANCES LIKE DRIVING A MOTORCYCLE WITHOU HELMET AND
DRINKING IN PUBLIC PLACES, RECKLESS IMPRUDENCE RESULTING IN HOMICIDES
AND PHYSICAL INJURIES ARE COUNTED AS NON-INDEX CRIMES.
• LOCAL ORDINANCES VARIES PER LOCALITY, SO THE PNP DOES NOT FOCUS ON
MEASURING THE CRIME SEVERITY BY NON-INDEX CRIMES ALONE.

• THE PNP USE THE DATA OF NON-INDEX CRIME TO DETERMINE IF CRIMES ARE
GOING UP OR DOWN, REGARDLESS OF THE NUMBER OF POPULATION IN AN AREA.

• THE EIGHT FOCUS CRIMES (INDEX CRIME) ARE MURDER, HOMICIDE, PHYSICAL
INJURY, RAPE, ROBBERY, THEFT, CARNAPPING OF VEHICLES, AND CARNAPPING
OF MOTORCYCLES.
EXAMPLE OF CRIME CLOCK- FBI 2017
CRIME CLOCK FORMULA
PERIOD OF DAYS DIVIDED BY REPORTED CRIME MULTIPLY BY 24 HOURS
EXCESS MULTIPLY BY 60 MINUTES
EXCESS MULTIPLY BY 60 SECONDS
1. CITY A RECORDED A TOTAL OF 75 MURDER CASES FOR A PERIOD OF 93 DAYS WHAT IS
THE CRIME CLOCK OF THE PARTICULARS CRIME

A. 29 HOURS 54 MINUTES AND 26 SECONDS

B. 92 HOURS 45 MINUTES AND 36 SECONDS
C. 92 HOURS 54 MINUTES AND 26 SECONDS
D. 29 HOURS 45 MINUTES AND 36 SECONDS
CORRECT ANSWER D. 29 HOURS 45 MINUTES AND 36 SECONDS

• FORMULA:
PERIOD OF DAYS DIVIDED BY REPORTED CRIME MULTIPLY BY X 24HOURS
EXCESS X 60 MINUTES
EXCESS X 60 SECONDS
93÷75=1.241.24 X24=29.76
.76 × 60= 45.6
.60X 60 = 36
THE ANSWER IS LETTER D
 CRIME No of CRIMES ( March 17 to FREQUENCY
June 8 2020) 83 DAYS
MURDER 932 2 Hours , 8 Minutes and 14
seconds
HOMICIDE 252 7 Hours , 54 Minutes and
17 seconds
RAPE 885 2 Hours , 15 Minutes and 3
seconds
ROBBERY 658 3 Hours , 1 Minutes and 38
seconds

• THE CRIME CLOCK IS JUST A ILLUSTRATION OF FREQUENCY
OF CRIME BUT IT FAIL TO PAINT A COMPLETELY ACCURATE
PICTURE OF CRIME PREVLENCE IN CITIES..
• THE DATA MAY VARY BECAUSE SOME INCIDENTS ARE NOT
REPORTED TO THE PHILIPPINE NATIONAL POLICE.
