Curfew Implementation: Extent, Impact, Problems and Solutions in a Town in the Philippines

Abstract

This paper examined the implementation of curfew in a town in Region 9, Philippines to provide a
descriptive analysis of the policy, practices, and outcomes of curfew restriction. The descriptive survey
method was used in this study. A self-designed questionnaire, which passed a thorough validation and
reliability testing, was used to gather the necessary data. Two hundred six (206) participants (Barangay
Peace Auxiliary Team, police officers, teachers, community residents) were purposively chosen to
answer the survey questionnaire. The problems with curfew enforcement and solutions were identified
using SARA Model. The finding of the study revealed that curfew encompasses variation on time,
execution, consequences of violations, and targeted individuals. The policy and practices in curfew
implementation may influence the outcome of the enforcement. The comparison of crime before and
after curfew implementation shows a reduction of crime in the town.

Community Participation in Crime Prevention in Barangay 178 Camarin Caloocan City

Abstract

Community participation is one of the most important assets to prevent crime. Nowadays, there are
many crimes happening in our country. That is why the Philippine National Police (PNP) needs the
participation of the community in ensuring orderliness and peace amongst its constituents. The
community serves as the “eye” and “ears” of the Philippine National Police (PNP) because the
community is aware of what is happening in their area more than the police. A synergetic partnership
between the community and the Philippine National Police (PNP) is essential to reduce crime and
improve the quality of life. Community participation is truly important to encourage them to coordinate
with local police programs for community safety. Also, the PNP needs the coordination of barangay
officials in the implementation of law and order in specific jurisdictions. The results in this research will
serve as guides and bases in providing solutions to the aforementioned problem. The researchers used
the descriptive method in gathering data from the respondents. The Data gathering process in this study
was conducted through the use of questionnaires and unstructured interviews. Data obtained from
these questionnaires were carefully analyzed and interpreted with the help of descriptive statistics such
as weighted mean, percentage, rank, and Likert scale. The findings of this study showed that the
problems encountered by the respondents on the prevention of crime in Brgy. 178 Camarin, Caloocan
City are not following the rules and regulation of the government. Based on the responses of the
respondents, it was identified that there are a number of constituents who are not communicating with
police and government about critical issues in the community. This concludes that a number of
respondents may not have enough knowledge about crime prevention directives or awareness of the
ways they can coordinate with the police on criminal encounters. The researchers identified that citizens
should report immediately suspicious activity to the police officers. They should also cooperate with the
programs implemented by the police and government and they should have the will to perform their
duty to help the police fight crime. Solutions and results for crime prevention are the main goals of this
research. The crimes in the community will be lessened or prevented if this research becomes applied.

Implementation of the Community Peace and Order and Public Safety Program in Negros Occidental,
Philippines

ABSTRACT

Peace is indivisible and global because it is the foundation of the survival of humanity. Ensuring
peace and security of the people is vital in maintaining economic development, social order, and

assessed the extent of implementation of the POPS in terms of crime prevention and control,
anti-illegal drugs, public safety, and enforcement of ordinances. It also investigated the differences in
the implementation of the program when the communities are grouped according to variables. Further,
it explored the challenges and suggestions of community leaders. Using a researcher-made survey
questionnaire, data were gathered from respondents. Findings revealed a great extent of
implementation, but there were significant differences when barangays were grouped into variables.
The findings were utilized as bases for an enhanced POPS program.

Research Method:

● This study utilized a Quantitative research method.

Research Design:

● This study utilized a Descriptive- Comparative research design.

Research Sampling Techniques:

● This study utilized a Stratified Random sampling technique.
