MARICAR A. MENDOZA. Crime Rate and Public Safety Situation in Gen. E. Aguinaldo, Cavite as Affected by the Republic Act No. 10630 (An Act Strengthening the Juvenile Justice in the Philippines. Undergraduate Thesis Submitted to the Faculty of the College of Arts and Sciences Cavite State University Indang, Cavite

This study aimed to know the crime rate and status of public safety in Gen. E. Aguinaldo, Cavite, what are the actions and programs of the local government unit with regards to youth crimes, the status of implementation of the juvenile justice system in accordance to what is stated in the republic act, and how the Republic Act No. 10630 affected the crime rate and public safety in the aforementioned municipality. The method used in the gathering of data was a combination of qualitative and quantitative research. The researcher prepared a questionnaire for an interview and a separate questionnaire for a survey for the sample composed of barangay police officers, barangay councilors designated to the peace and order, and two hundred systematically selected residents from the four selected barangays, which were those with the highest rate of youth crimes. After the conduction of the study and the analysis of its results, the researcher discovered that the increase and decrease in the rate of crime before and after the implementation of the Republic Act No. 10630 in Gen. E. Aguinaldo, Cavite has no specific pattern. It did not increase continuously nor decrease continuously upon the implementation of the republic act. Thus, the republic act has no direct impact on the rate of crime. When it comes to the status of public safety, it is primarily affected, not by the republic act, but by the rate or number of crimes, and by the nature of, among these
crimes, the most commonly committed.
