Chapter I

INTRODUCTION

Background of the study

Crimes today appears as an integral part of the risks we face in everyday life. Crime

is associated with harm and violence; harm to individuals, destruction of property, and the

denial of respect to people and institutions (Morrison, 2013). Property crime is a category

of crime that includes burglary, motor vehicle theft, theft, arson, vandalism and shoplifting.

It involves the taking of property or money and does not include a theft of force or use of

force against the victim. (Ballarta, 2023).

According to the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), property crime is one of

the most common types of crime in the United States, comprising a significant portion of

overall criminal activity (FBI, 2020). Research suggests that socioeconomic factors, such

as poverty and unemployment, can contribute to higher rates of property crime (Bouffard,

2015).

In the Philippines, according to Cuizon et al., (2022) their research shows that 2019

has the highest crime occurrence and drastically decline on 2020. January of the same year

the first case of Covid-19 in the Philippines was reported and more reported deaths were

recorded. Due to this alarming global crisis Philippine government issued lockdown which

is considered the longest and strictest in the world (Hapal, 2021). Residents were not

allowed to go out unless to buy food and other personal necessities. It also shows that 2019

has the highest crime occurrence and started declining during 2020 and totally went down

on 2021. Reported cases of Robbery, Malicious Mischief, Theft and other crimes against

property decreased due to the Covid-19 pandemic. Caliwan (2020) reported that Lt.Gen.

1
Eleazar said that the Robbery and Theft cases declined by 60 percent since the government

imposed strict community lockdowns.

According to the Philippine National Police (PNP), Palawan, the most commonly

against property in Palawan, as in many other places, include theft, burglary, vandalism,

and property damage. These crimes can occur in both urban and rural areas and can affect

both residential and commercial properties. It is important to note that crime rates and

trends can vary overtime, so it’s best to consult official crime statistics or local law

enforcement agencies for the most current information.

As Bataraza is a municipality located in the southern part of Palawan. It is important

hub with a diverse population, encompassing both rural and urban areas. This municipality

also faces various challenges, including crime rates that demand attention and action. The

municipality of Bataraza is a 1st class municipality in the province of Palawan Philippines.

The Bataraza Municipal Police Station crime records show that during the previous five

years, 16 crimes against property, including robberies, thefts, kidnappings and other

offenses, have been perpetrated inside the station boundaries. According to the 2020 census

it has a population of 85,439 people. It composed of 22 Barangay. According to the

Bataraza Municipal police station (BMPS), Barangay Marangas are recorded six (6) crimes

against property, four (4) in Barangay Sandoval, and six (6) in Barangay Rio tuba with a

total of 16 from the year 2018 to 2022. It includes anti-car napping, theft and robbery.

Moreover, we came up with the methodological gap. This approach considers

a bulk of the existing research so it considers to take a quantitative approach, and therefore

there is a lack of rich insight and texture that a qualitative study could also provide.

Understanding the underlying most committed crimes against property in the Municipality

2
of Bataraza, Palawan is of paramount importance for the local authorities, law enforcement

agencies, and the residents. This research seeks to delve deep into the dynamics of property

crime within the municipality, offering a comprehensive analysis of the various aspects

influencing the occurrence of such offenses. This study is significant because it contributes

to the broader understanding of crime patterns in smaller, localized areas, helping bridge

the gap between national and regional crime statistics and the specific challenges faced by

municipalities like Bataraza. By focusing on this case study, the research can offer tailored

recommendations and strategies that are directly relevant to the unique circumstances of

this community.

Objective of the Study

Generally, this study sought to analyze the most committed crimes against property

of the municipality of Bataraza, Palawan, specifically:

1. To determine the incident of crimes against property comitted in the Municipality

of
Bataraza in the year 2018-2022.

2. To determine the key factors contributing to the occurrence of crimes against

property in the Municipality of Bataraza.

3. To determine the potential strategies and interventions that can be implemented by

the concerned agencies to effectively prevent and reduce crimes against property in

the Municipality of Bataraza based on the analysis of most committed crimes.

Significance of the Study

This study entitled “The most committed crimes against property in the

Municipality of Bataraza” holds significant importance for several stakeholder and broader

societal implications; specifically, it will be beneficial to the following:

To the Local Government Unit of Bataraza (LGU), the result will help them

understand the trends and factors contributing to property crimes that assist the LGU in

developing targeted policies and initiatives to address specific issues in Bataraza Moreover,

it will inform resource allocation, enabling the LGU to prioritize areas or intervention that

prove most effective in crime prevention.

To the Bataraza Municipal Police Station, this study will provide a

comprehensive analysis of crime trends and factors that can aid devising strategies for

proactive policing and resource optimization. Additionally, it improved knowledge about

the contributing to property crimes that can enhance the effectiveness of investigation,

leading to higher rates of crimes resolution.

To the Palawan State University (PSU), this study will provide them the data

regarding on how the reduced property crimes contribute to a stable and conducive

atmosphere for their students and employees who experienced it, to education, and to the

overall wellbeing.

To the Community, this study will empower them with insights into crime trends

fosters a sense of awareness and collaboration in crime prevention. Furthermore, analyzing

the factors contributing to property crimes can enable the community to take proactive

measures to enhance security and create a safer living environment.

4
 To the Researchers, the finding of this study can provide a foundation for future

research endeavors, encouraging a more nuanced understanding of crime dynamics in

Brooke’s point. Into the bargain, the researcher can build upon the study’s finding to delve

deeper into specific aspects of property crimes or explore related social, economic, or

environment factors.

To the Future Researchers, this study can be utilized as a reference point for

comparative analyses or to explore emerging trends in property crimes over time. In

addition, it serves basis for the formulation of hypotheses and the design of more targeted

and specific research inquiries.

REVIEW OF RELATED LITERATURE AND STUDIES

This chapter deals with the literature and studies relevant to the study. This chapter

also presents the synthesis, conceptual framework, research paradigm, and definition of

terms that will support the study.

Related Literature

Foreign

Canada exhibits no correlation between income and victimization, rich

neighborhoods are less exposed to property crime, rich households are more victimized

than their neighbors, and rich households and neighborhoods invest more in protection. we

provide a theory consistent with these facts. Criminals within city choose a neighborhood

and pay a search cost to compare potential victims, whereas households invest in self‐

protection. As criminals' return to search increases with neighborhood income, households

in rich neighborhoods are likelier to enter a race to greater protection driving criminals

toward poorer areas. A calibration reproduces the Canadian victimization and protection

pattern by household/neighborhood income (Decreuse 2022).

According to Cohen and Felson’s (1979) routine activity theory, crime is more

likely to occur when there is a convergence of three critical elements. these are a motivated

offender; a suitable target, and the absence of a capable guardian. Crime pattern theory

combines aspects of the routine activity approach with other environmental criminological

theories and focuses on how offenders may come across opportunities for crime in the

course of their everyday lives.

7
 Furthermore, Brantingham and Brantingham (1995) describe crime as an even that

occurs when the activity spaces of offenders which concentrate around the places, they

visit most frequently intersect with the activity spaces of a target, precipitated by some

triggering event. A great deal of property crime is opportunistic in nature. For example,

research has shown that most burglary offenders happen across opportunities in the course

of their everyday activities, rather than necessarily actively seeking out targets. Obviously,

major disruptions of these routine activities may have a significant impact on when, and

where, we might expect crime to occur.

Moreover, Brantingham and Brantingham (1995) also identified the significance of

crime attractors and crime generators. Crime generators are those places that attract large

numbers of people, which provide opportunities for targets and offenders to come together

in space and time. places. Shopping centers and public transport are both examples of crime

generators.

Eventually, Crime attractors are places that are attractive to motivated offenders

because they provide opportunities for crime to occur. Examples include certain licensed

premises in the night-time economy, major large-scale shopping centers, poorly secured

car parks and drug markets. Because of their crime generating and crime attracting

properties, these are common hotspots, including for property crime. Many of these

location types have all been profoundly impacted by containment measures. Because they

are crime hotspots, these changes to routine activities might be expected to have a

disproportionate impact in terms of their share of any crime effects.

Whereas, it would appear that containment measures have indeed had a significant,

measurable impact on routine activities of Australians. When asked, adult Australians have

8
reported a high degree of compliance with recommended social distancing practices,

including keeping distance between people, avoiding public spaces, and avoiding large

gatherings (Australian Bureau of Statistics, 2020b). Further, Google’s (2020) mobility data

highlights how much peoples’ movement and time spent in public and private spaces has

changed as a result of various containment measures. Location data reported by Google on

community mobility, for example, has tracked how often and for how long people travel

to different location types, compared with a baseline value (the median value for the same

day of the week in January and early February). significant reductions in visits to public

spaces, including parks (down 33% as of mid-April), retail and recreation premises (down

37%), workplaces (down 39%) and transit stations (down 59%). Conversely, the time spent

in residential locations has increased by 20 percent.

On the other hand, Campedelli et al., (2020) analyzed daily recorded crime counts

over a three-year period in Los Angeles using Bayesian structural time-series models,

incorporating controls for weather (seasonality) and holiday periods. This approach

allowed them to produce a synthetic counterfactual what would have occurred had there

been no containment measures which they compared with observed crime counts during a

period of increasingly stringent social distancing measures in March. Property crimes,

including shoplifting and thefts, decreased, as did crime overall, and these trends were

amplified during the period of more stringent measures.

Moreover, Ashby (2020) analyzed data for 16 large US cities. Similar to

Campedelli (2020), Ashby forecasted the expected frequency of crime during the pandemic

based on data from 2016 to early 2020, but used seasonal auto-regressive integrated

moving average models to produce the synthetic counterfactual for the period after 20

9
January (the first confirmed case of COVID-19 in the US). There was no change in crime

levels between the observed and predicted values before early March, when social

distancing measures (like closing schools and then stay at home orders) were introduced.

There was some evidence of an impact on property crime, including burglary and theft

from vehicles; however, Ashby (2020) observed significant variation between the cities,

with no two cities exhibiting the same trends in crime.

Review of Related Studies

Local

According to Sun et. Al. (2022), comprehensively understanding the factor’s

influencing crime is a prerequisite for preventing and combating crime. Although some

studies have investigated the relationship between environmental factors and property

crime, the interaction between factors was not fully considered in these studies, and the

explanation of complex factors may be insufficient. This paper explored the influence of

environmental factors on property crime using factor regression and factor interaction

based on data from the central city of Lanzhou, China. Our findings showed that: (1) The

distribution of crime cases showed the pattern of a local multi-center. Shop density, hotel

density, entertainment density and house price were the four dominant environmental

drivers of property crime; (2) The relationship between the light intensity and property

crime had different correlation explanations in temporal projection and spatial projection.

There was a normal distribution curve between the number of property crimes and the

Price-to-Earnings Ratio (PE Ratio) of the community house price; and (3) The results of

the factor interaction indicated that the effect of all factors on crime showed a two-factor

10
enhancement. As an important catalyst, shop density had the strongest interaction with

other factors. Shop density gradient influenced the degree of interpretation of spatial

heterogeneity of property crime.

The study by Santos & Santos (2020) reviews the function of the Police in fighting

Property crimes. In particular, it reviews the response time among police departments in

reacting to burglary and vehicle theft in residential areas marked as micro-time hot spots.

The research uses a randomized approach involving 114 treatments and 103 control micro-

time hot spots to assign various categories of the study. Using a blind approach, it tests the

rate of proactive patrol relative to no-dosage control situations to determine the police

department’s practices by collecting responses from assigned categories. It identifies that

treatment micro-time hot spots had lower crimes after 15 and 30 days than the control, with

the highest effects occurring in the first 15 days of the study. It reveals the nature of

institutionalized daily operations of the police in using direct patrol to reduce crime,

especially in marking areas as micro-time hot spots to increase further the impact of

surveillance on reducing property crime.

The study by Robielos & Duran (2020) reviews crime rates through different

aspects within the City of Manila. It presents the depiction of the nature of police work in

determining the patterns of property crime, such as vehicle theft and burglary, its targets,

and the period of the day when most cases occur. Markedly, the study uses a methodology

involving the Bayesian network model, where it uses met-analytical data from the city’s

police department over five years. The results reveal that three months (February, April,

and July) have the highest rates of property crimes, which ties to the country's economic

output. It also reveals that males occur as the most victims of property crimes, primarily

11
between 3 PM and 9 PM. The study provides useful data that the police department can

use to map out a management model to reduce property crime rates.

The case of Narcotics Use and Property Crime is a piece that examines the

relationship between drugs and crime is one of its benefits. The drawback and reason it

couldn't reach a firm result is that there are too many variables. Some of these include the

person's age, gender, the type of substance they are using, and lastly their financial

situation. If a poll would have been conducted, it would start by looking at one specific

substance and gender. Drugs and crime have long been linked, with numerous studies

showing a correlation between drug use and criminal activities. Studies have found that

drug users are more likely to commit crimes than those who do not use drugs. In addition,

drug use can lead to further criminal activity, such as property theft and burglary. Drugs

can also lead to property destruction, as drug users may become desperate for money and

resort to vandalism or theft. Drug users may also be more likely to break into homes or

businesses in order to get money or drugs. The effects of drug use on property crime can

also be seen in the form of increased violence. Drug users may become more aggressive,

leading to increased incidents of assault or robbery. In addition, drug users may be more

likely to engage in gang-related activities, which can result in property damage, theft, and

other crimes. The link between drugs and property crime can also be seen in the number of

drug-related arrests. Drug users are more likely to be arrested for property crime than non-

drug users. This can have a negative effect on the community, as drug users who are

arrested are more likely to commit further crimes (Powers, 2018).

12
Synthesis

Based on the preceding review related literature and studies mentioned above, this

study aims to investigate the most committed crimes against property in the specific context

of Bataraza level where the research gap of this study lies. Research often focuses on

national, regional or city level, but there may be changes in understanding how property

crimes vary within smaller geographical areas such as Municipality. There’s also gap in

understanding how social and environmental factors such as Municipal Characteristics

influence property crimes rates. It is advisable to the researchers to utilize various

analytical tools, including statistical analysis, qualitative interviews, and literature review

to provide comprehensive understanding of property crimes in the area.

Theoretical Framework

The study will be guided by Social Disorganization Theory and Routine Activities

Theory, which offer valuable insights into the factors influencing crime rates at the

community level. Social Disorganization Theory asserts that high crime rates are

associated with the breakdown of social institutions and the absence of effective social

institute and the absence of effective social control mechanisms within the community.

This theory suggests that the specific neighborhood characteristics such as poverty,

residential mobility, and social cohesion can create an environment conducive to crimes

against property.

Routine activities theory, on the other hand, emphasizes the importance of

motivated offenders, suitable targets, and the capable guardians in the occurrence of

crimes. This theory suggests that the presence of desirable targets, limited surveillance, and

lack of guardianship significantly to contribute to property crime. Both theories provide

13
some key factors that might be related to the property crime rates in the Municipality of

Bataraza. Researcher can examine how both theories intersect environments conducive to

property crimes.

According to Moore (1983) as cited by Dasayon (2013), the random preventive, e

patrol theory is another theory that would explain that the logic behind preventive patrol

was simple and persuasive. A potential offender looking to commit crime in the community

would be deterred by the visibility of police or Barangay task force, now called as "patrol

presence". This requires surprise patrolling, and conduct of patrolling through unstructured

routines. If this theory is practiced. It strengthens police visibility and is very effective in

eliminating opportunity, capabilities, or instrumentalities of individuals in committing

crimes against property in Bataraza.

Therefore, throughout this co-production or co-activity theory, the researchers

wanted to apply this method to analyze and lessen the possibility of committing crimes

against property in the Municipality of Bataraza. This is recognized by the Philippines

National Police as written in the Police Community Relation (PCR) Manual. This is

defined as an active outreach and systematic engagement between the police and the public

for the purposes of identifying and addressing localized problems of crimes against

property.

Relative to the variables of this study, this is the overall theory that when properly

implemented would holistically control the commission of crimes. This helps eliminate

either or all the elements of crime. Additionally, it will be beneficial to the Bataraza

Municipal Police Station (BMPS) to fasten the recording of data against property crime in

local areas such as Barangay Marangas, Barangay Sandoval and Barangay Rio Tuba

14
through the coordination of Barangay Task Force (BTF) and Bataraza Bantay Bayan

(BBB) patrol.

Data Collection Strategy

The researcher will review existing literature on crimes against property, focusing

specially on trends factors contributing to such crimes. This will provide a foundation for

the research design, instrument development, and data analysis. Afterwards, write a letter

a request to the college director to allow them to conduct the study outside the campus.

The researchers will send letter to the municipal mayor of Bataraza requesting for an

endorsement to the Municipal Police Station to accommodate the researcher’s prerequisite

for data needed in the study.

Furthermore, upon the approval of the letter, the researchers will start the face-to-

face interview to randomly select sample of residents and non-residents within the

municipality. The participants will be given sufficient time to answer the interview

question, and their responses we be recorded and prescribed by the researchers

17
Sampling Approach

The researchers will select a purposive sample of individuals who have been

victims or witnesses of crimes against property. These individuals will be contacted and

arranged for in-depth interviews. The interviews will be audio-recorded with the

participants’ consent and transcribed analysis.

Research Flowchart

The researchers will review existing literature on crimes against property, focusing
specifically on the most committed crimes contributing to such crimes. This will provide
a foundation for the research design, instrument development, and data analysis.

Write a letter of request to the campus director to allow the researchers to conduct the
study outside the campus.

The researchers will send a letter to the Municipal Mayor of Bataraza requesting for an
endorsement to the Bataraza Municipal Police Station to accommodate the researcher’s
prerequisite for statistical data needed in the study.

Upon the approval of the letter, the researchers will distribute questionnaires to randomly
selected sample of residents and non-residents within the municipality.

The respondents will be given sufficient time to complete the questionnaire which
includes most committed crimes against property and the “Awareness of Law
Enforcement strategies”, the responses of the respondents will be collected by the
researchers.

18
Target Respondents

The target respondents of this study will be the residents of the selected

barangays in the Municipality of Bataraza specifically the three (3) Barangays which

includes Brgy. Rio Tuba, Brgy. Marangas, and Brgy. Sandoval who has been

victims/witnesses of crimes against property for the year 2018-2022.

Questionnaire Design

To collect data, the researcher will use interview guide questions. If required, all

question will also be translated into Filipino or even the respondent’s native tongue like

“Palawan” in order to improve comprehension. The primary focus of the question will be

on the most common property-related crimes in their barangay or area, as well as the typical

causes of these crimes.

Ethical Consideration

The respondents will be informed about the purpose of the study, their right as

participants, and their option to withdraw from the research at any time. The collected data

will be treated as confidential all personal identifiers will be removed, and the information

will be only be used for research purposes. Moreover, the researcher will conduct

interviews in a private and comfortable setting, respecting the privacy of the participants

and ensuring that their views and experiences are kept confidential

Furthermore, the researcher will take necessary precaution to ensure that the

research design, data collection, and analysis do not harm the participants physically,

mentally, or emotionally. The research design and procedures will be submitted to the

19
relevant ethics committee or institutional review board for approval before data collection

begins.

Data Cleaning

To make sure the data is reliable, accurate, and of high quality, the researchers will

employ a data cleaning technique. The researcher will designate one person to record the

data in writing during the interview, with the others recording the entire conversation, to

ensure that all the data is accurately captured. The researchers will examine the data

gathered from in person interviews to ensure that the respondent’s responses are consistent

and to prevent errors in the data transcription. The researcher will also identify the data that

are outside or not covered by our research and exclude it to minimize errors and ensure the

reliability of data.

Data Analysis

The collected data from questionnaires and interviews will be analyzed using

thematic analysis to identify the recurring property crimes, pattern of commission of crime,

and the key factors contributing to the commission of crimes. The data will be presented

in table for the frequency counts of reported property crimes and narratives to provide a

comprehensive overview of the most committed crimes against property.

 Chapter IV

Presentation, Analysis and Discussion

This chapter explores the property crimes occurring within the three barangays of

the municipality of Bataraza. It examines the most committed property crimes and

investigates the factors contributing to these crimes. Furthermore, it discusses potential

strategies and interventions that can be implemented by concerned agencies to effectively

prevent and reduce property crimes in the Municipality of Bataraza based on the analysis

of the most committed crimes. Through analysis and insights provided by the respondents,

the aim of this chapter is to provide a comprehensive understanding of their occurrence

and methods for addressing them.

Most Committed Property Crime in the Municipality

This section presents and discusses two topics: the most committed property crimes

in the municipality of Bataraza, and the findings regarding the most committed property

crimes in the three barangays of Bataraza Municipality, which are the focus of this study.

To comprehensively understand property crime within Bataraza Municipality, an

analysis of police reports spanning the years 2018 to 2022 was conducted. The following

table summarizes the total number of reported property crimes across the municipality

during this period. This data was used to identify and select the three barangays with the

highest incidence of property crimes for further detailed study.

The table above provides a summary of reported property crimes in municipality of

Bataraza from 2018 to 2022. Based on this data, Barangays Marangas, Rio Tuba, and

Sandoval were identified as having the highest total number of reported property crimes

over the five-year period. Therefore, these barangays were selected for further in-depth

study to understand the dynamics and contributing factors of property crimes within these

areas.

22
 It should be noted that due to various challenges, official barangay-level reports

were not obtained. As a result, the data presented in this section are based solely on the

personal experiences and perceptions of the respondents interviewed within these three

barangays.

In the series of interviews conducted within these three barangays of the

municipality of Bataraza, this study revealed that the most frequently occurring property

crimes are theft and robbery. To facilitate a thorough and comprehensive understanding,

the discussion will be divided into these two categories of criminal activities.

Theft

Theft is an offense committed when the taking of another's personal property occurs

without violence against or intimidation of persons, nor force upon things. In the three

barangays within the Municipality of Bataraza where this study was conducted, theft

emerges as the most committed property crime, as reported by respondents. According to

the interviews conducted, the items most frequently stolen vary in kind. Money, jewelry,

gadgets, goods, equipment, livestock, and even motorcycles are among the possessions

reported as commonly targeted by thieves within these barangays. This diverse array of

stolen items underscores the widespread occurrence of theft and its impact on both

individual residents and local businesses.

Robbery

Robbery, similar to theft but distinguished by the use of force or threat of violence,

represents a significant form of property crime within the municipality of Bataraza. While

theft involves the unlawful taking of property, robbery inflicts a heightened sense of fear

23
and trauma upon its victims due to the direct threat to their physical safety. As experienced

by one of the respondents, perpetrators often wield deadly weapons, leading victims to

either pretend to be asleep or simply comply with the theft to safeguard their lives.

Additionally, some victims have reported incidents where their stores are forcefully opened

to steal goods, resulting in financial losses for the business owners and leaving an

overwhelming sense of insecurity within the community.

This section has explored into the findings of property crimes in the three barangays

of Municipality of Bataraza, focusing on theft and robbery. Theft emerges as the most

common property crime, targeting various valuable possessions, while robbery poses a

serious threat due to its use of force or threat of violence. The highlighted particular items

being stolen are attractive targets for criminals due to their high value and ease of

conversion into money. The ability to quickly sell or trade these items for cash makes them

appealing to thieves looking for fast financial gain. These findings underscore the pressing

need for effective interventions to address these crimes and enhance security measures

within the community.

A summary table is presented below to provide a visual representation of the

frequency and types of crimes against property reported across the three barangays.

Key factors contributing to committing crimes against properties

This section explores the key factors contributing to crimes against property,

aiming to provide a comprehensive understanding of the underlying influences behind

these offenses. The discussion will be divided into two sub-themes: economic factors,

social influences. These sub-themes serve as the basis for exploring the details of property

crimes and gaining a deeper understanding of their occurrence.

Economic Factors

Economic factors play a significant role in driving crimes against property within

the barangays of Bataraza municipality. According to the respondents, poverty is the

primary factor in these communities, often leading individuals to resort to theft and robbery

as a means of survival. Unemployment worsens the situation, as jobless individuals may

turn to property crimes to address financial problems. Additionally, lack of education was

highlighted by some respondents as another contributing factor. These three factors

contribute to a cycle where individuals, having little to no income, are driven to commit

property crimes out of desperation for money.

Social Influences

In addition to economic factors, the respondents also described the significant role

of social influences in contributing to property crimes within the barangays of Bataraza

municipality. Peer pressure can be a powerful force, with friends or peers leading

25
individuals to commit criminal activities, including property crimes. The desire to fit in or

gain acceptance among peers can lead individuals to make poor decisions and participate

in illegal behavior. Parental guidance serves as one of the primary factors to help

individuals avoid committing property crimes because without it, there is a significant gap

in a person's development, leaving them vulnerable to negative social influences and

making them more likely to engage in criminal behavior. Sometimes, individuals may also

turn to property crimes due to addictions both to because they are under influence or to

sustain their vises, further fueling their involvement in illegal activities.

This section discussed the factors that influences an individual to commit property

crime. Poverty prevails in being the most influential factor to engage in theft and robbery,

along with unemployment and lack of education. Social connections have also been

highlighted to serves as a factor of influencing to commit property crimes. Peer pressure,

parental guidance and addiction are examples of this connection. Both economic status of

an individual and its social connections serves as a factor to commit property crime.

Law Enforcement and Community Empowerment

This section explores the recommendations and suggestions made by respondents

regarding the role of concerned government agencies in addressing property crimes within

the barangays of Municipality of Bataraza. Through their insights, this section seeks to

uncover strategies for concerned agencies to address property crimes and promote safer

communities. For comprehensive understanding, we will divide this section into two sub-

themes. The first Enhanced Surveillance Measures that discusses improvement in

surveillance capabilities and second is Empowering Communities which discusses the

possible programs concerned agencies can do to empower communities.

26
Enhanced Surveillance Measures

Most of the respondents recommended that for addressing property crimes, the

concerned agencies should enhance the surveillance mechanism in the municipality.

Suggestions included improving lighting by adding more street lights to increase visibility,

particularly in areas prone to criminal activities. Additionally, respondents suggested

increasing police patrols to discourage criminal behavior and respond quickly to incidents.

Installing CCTV cameras throughout the municipality was also proposed to provide

valuable evidence for investigations and enhance surveillance capabilities. Furthermore,

the implementation of curfews was highlighted as a potential measure to reduce

opportunities for criminal activity and improve community safety, with suggestions

provided. These are the measures that the respondents believe will help to lessen the

occurrence of property crimes.

In discussing the suggestions provided by the respondents to increase surveillance

and security measures, it is evident that occurrences of property crimes in these barangays

may be attributed to various factors. These include the lack of adequate lighting

infrastructure, insufficient security measures such as the absence of CCTV cameras, and

limited or no presence of law enforcement patrols. The combination of these factors creates

an environment favorable to criminal activities, thereby highlighting the need for improved

surveillance measures and enhanced law enforcement efforts to effectively deter crimes

against property.

Empowering Communities

In addition to the recommendations for enhancing surveillance mechanisms in the

municipality, respondents emphasized the crucial role of community empowerment in

27
reducing property crimes. They highlighted the need for concerned agencies to actively

engage with the community by organizing and providing livelihood programs, and

education initiatives. Moreover, respondents suggested the implementation of community

meetings where concerned agencies can listen to the insights and voices of their people and

to provide information on how residents can become vigilant to actively participate in

crime prevention efforts. By conducting these activities, respondents believes that

government strengthens it bond to the community, which enhances the effectiveness of

crime prevention strategies.

The result of this section, empowering community, shows the respondents’ strong

desire to increase community involvement empowerment, extending to educational

opportunities. By advocating educational initiatives and livelihood programs, residents can

acknowledge the government's assistance in improving their quality of life. Educational

opportunity such as Alternative Learning System, training sessions and seminars offers

knowledge

This section presents that most respondents recommended enhancing surveillance

mechanisms to address property crimes in the municipality. Suggestions included adding

more street lights, increasing police patrols, installing CCTV cameras, and implementing

curfews to reduce criminal activities. Additionally, community empowerment was

emphasized as crucial. Respondents highlighted the need for livelihood programs,

education initiatives, and community meetings to engage residents in crime prevention.

These measures aim to strengthen the bond between the government and the community,

enhancing the effectiveness of crime prevention strategies and creating safer

neighborhoods.

Summary

This chapter has provided a comprehensive exploration of property crimes within

the three barangays of Municipality of Bataraza, focusing on theft and robbery. The

findings underscore the urgent need for effective interventions to address these crimes and

enhance security measures within the community. Economic factors such as poverty and

unemployment, as well as social influences like peer pressure and lack of parental

guidance, were identified as key contributors to property crimes. Recommendations for

addressing these issues include enhancing surveillance measures through improved

lighting, increased police patrols, and the installation of CCTV cameras, as well as

empowering communities through livelihood programs, education initiatives, and

community engagement efforts. By implementing these strategies, concerned agencies can

work collaboratively with the community to reduce property crimes and create safer

environments for residents and businesses in Municipality of Bataraza.

 Recommendation

This study revealed the prevalent crimes in the three barangays in the

Municipality of Bataraza, factors contributing to commit crimes against properties, and

possible actions to prevent and reduce the crime. Thus, the following recommendation

are hereby presented:

1. Enhancing the security measures in the barangays by increasing police patrols in high-

crime areas to deter criminal activities and ensure quick response to incidents, installation

of additional CCTV cameras throughout the municipality to provide valuable evidence

for investigations and enhance surveillance capabilities, and improving lighting in poorly

lit areas to increase visibility and discourage criminal behavior, particularly during

nighttime.

2. Implementing community empowerment initiatives by organizing regular community

meetings to educate residents on crime prevention strategies and encourage active

participation in keeping neighborhoods safe, developing livelihood programs aimed at

providing employment opportunities and economic stability for individuals at risk of

resorting to property crimes due to financial hardship, and establishing education

initiatives to raise awareness about the consequences of property crimes and promote

positive social behaviors among community members.

3. Strengthen the collaboration between government agencies and the community by

establishing partnerships between local authorities, law enforcement agencies, and

community leaders to coordinate efforts in addressing property crimes effectively. and

33
encourage residents to report suspicious activities and cooperate with law enforcement to

identify and apprehend perpetrators.

The following recommendations are presented for researchers interested in

studying similar topics and to address the limitations in this study:

1. Due to the unavailability of reported crime data at the barangay level, this research

relied on the perceptions and experiences of the respondents to understand property crime

dynamics. Having access to official crime reports would strengthen the validity and

reliability of the study's findings, providing a more comprehensive and objective

understanding of property crime patterns, complementing the subjective perspectives

gathered from the respondents.

2. Expand the geographic scope by including a wider range of barangays or

municipalities within Palawan to capture a more diverse perspective on property crime

dynamics.

3. Incorporate comparative analysis in crime trends and contributing factors between

different barangays or municipalities to identify variations and similarities, thus

providing a more detailed understanding of the issue.

4. Explore additional factors like socio-economic, cultural, or environmental that may

influence property crime rates, such as access to social services, urbanization, or

community integration
