ASIDO, CARLO TITLE 1: QUALIFYING VICE ABUSE AMONG STIP CRIMINILOGY STUDENT The issue of vice abuse within the criminology student population has garnered increased attention in recent times, prompting a comprehensive exploration of this multifaceted concern. Vice abuse, encompassing behaviors like substance misuse and gambling, raises pertinent questions about the welfare and prospects of those who are studying to understand and combat criminal behavior. This research embarks on a quantitative investigation into the prevalence, motivating factors, and ramifications of vice abuse among criminology students, shining a spotlight on an aspect of their academic journey that has received relatively limited scrutiny. By quantifying the extent of vice abuse and probing into the underlying triggers, this study aims to provide meaningful insights that can inform academic institutions, policymakers, and support services about the unique challenges faced by criminology students. The negative impact of vice abuse among criminology students cannot be overstated. Engaging in destructive behaviors like substance misuse or excessive gambling can have severe consequences that reverberate throughout their academic journey and future careers. Firstly, vice abuse can lead to a decline in academic performance, as students struggle to balance their educational commitments with the demands of these detrimental activities. The primary purpose of this research is to systematically examine the phenomenon of vice abuse within the criminology student demographic. We aim to quantify the prevalence of vice- related behaviors and delve into the motivating factors that drive students toward such activities. Through a rigorous quantitative analysis, we endeavor to offer a data-driven perspective on this issue. Furthermore, this research seeks to identify the potential negative impacts of vice abuse on criminology students' academic performance, mental health, and future prospects. By achieving these objectives, we aspire to provide practical insights that can guide educational institutions, policymakers, and support services in addressing the specific needs and challenges faced by this group of students. TITLE 2: ILLEGAL DRIVING PRACTICE AMONG STIP CRIMINOLOGY STUDENTS This research is to find out if STIP criminology students follow traffic laws. Do they have adequate knowledge about driving? Do they have driver's licenses and above all are they safe to drive. If you are driving you must have a driver's license with you. According to Hazel Nicole Carreon, the penalty for driving without a license is a hefty P3,000. It must also be carried around by every driver and simply forgetting it at home will not exempt you from penalties. If you are driving you must have a driver's license with you. According to Hazel Nicole Carreon, the penalty for driving without a license is a hefty P3,000. It must also be carried around by every driver and simply forgetting it at home will not exempt you from penalties. If you don't have a driver's license, it's better to commute. If you obtain a driver's license, you will feel more self- assured and less intimidated to operate a vehicle. It is not a right but a privilege to drive. There is no constitutional right to drive. Your ability to drive and your agreement to abide by the rules are both criteria for receiving a driver's license. You must continue to prove your ability to operate a vehicle safely once you have your license. You will receive traffic citations or possibly have your license suspended or revoked if you can't prove this skill. The primary aim of this study is to delve into and comprehend the extent and underlying determinants linked with illicit driving practices within the criminology student population. This research strives to uncover potential connections between criminology education and involvement in unlawful driving activities. Furthermore, it seeks to identify the driving forces, mindsets, and risk perceptions that could contribute to these behaviors among this specific group of students. Ultimately, the research findings are intended to offer valuable insights for educational institutions, policymakers, and law enforcement agencies, potentially paving the way for targeted interventions or educational initiatives designed to tackle these issues within the criminology student cohort. In doing so, it can promote safer road conduct and elevate the ethical standards expected of future law enforcement professionals. TITLE 3: COMMUNITY POLICING AND ITS EFFECTIVE IN REDUCING PETTTY CRIMES The concept of community policing represents a paradigm shift in law enforcement, emphasizing collaboration between police officers and the communities they serve. One area where its potential impact has drawn particular attention is in the reduction of petty crimes. This research seeks to explore the effectiveness of community policing strategies in addressing and curbing minor offenses within local neighborhoods. By analyzing relevant data and case studies, this study aims to shed light on the tangible benefits and limitations of community policing in enhancing safety and reducing the incidence of petty crimes. The importance of this research lies in its potential to inform evidence-based policing practices. Petty crimes, though often considered minor, can significantly affect the quality of life within communities and contribute to an overall sense of insecurity. By evaluating the effectiveness of community policing in addressing these issues, we can better allocate resources and develop strategies that resonate with the needs and expectations of local residents. The primary purpose of this research is to critically assess the role of community policing in tackling petty crimes. We aim to determine whether community-oriented approaches, which emphasize partnerships and engagement with residents, result in a measurable decline in minor offenses. Through a focused examination of case studies and empirical data, we intend to provide a well-rounded understanding of the potential effectiveness of community policing strategies. Ultimately, our goal is to inform law enforcement agencies, policy makers, and community leaders about the value of incorporating community policing into crime reduction efforts.
