cooperating with the PNP. The active and supportive PNP - community
relationship is a way of preventing the occurrence of crimes and also help
the PNP in solving crimes that occur in the locality.
The PNP in Camalaniugan ensure the public safety within their
locality and serve as the human shield against criminals. Crimes and
criminals are the number one enemy of the PNP. They serve as the thorns
of the community because they can affect the communitys social and
economic life. Crime is an act or omission that violates the law of the
nation. Crime prevention plan or campaign by the PNP is a way of
preventing the occurrence of crimes in the locality but without the
cooperation of the community people, crime prevention is impossible.
Cooperation of the community is important in this matter of work. For
crime prevention to be effective we need the cooperation of residents of
Camalaniugan and they should be responsible enough in cooperating with
PNP for their own safety.
Crimes are common problems of our society and these crimes may
be committed by the offender for varied reasons. It is part of our daily life
that crimes may occur in our community due to the people who cannot
support their daily needs and so they resort to stealing or theft. Others
may commit crimes due to peer pressure or that the offender loses his
self-control too easily. Others may commit a crime just to support their
vices or maybe due to loose-morals.

REVIEW OF RELATED LITERATURE AND STUDIES
Crime Rate
A measure of change in recorded crime, over a given period of time, based
upon official statistics for offences or offender rates. It enables comparison of
variations across offenses or areas, and can be produced for selected offenses
(such as theft), or as a general measure. It is a count of crimes complied to assess the
effectiveness of a crime control policy, and the impact of the policy on the risk of crime
victimization.
