    The community plays a critical role as the fifth pillar of the Philippine criminal justice system. It is composed of various groups like families, barangay councils, schools, churches, and civic organizations that help authorities address law and order concerns. Specifically, the barangay serves as the smallest political unit where community involvement occurs through dispute resolution bodies. The community is also mobilized through various government and non-government groups to support crime prevention efforts, identify offenders, and volunteer as witnesses to help resolve cases.
