As what the experts are saying, dearth of space, basic amenities like food and shelter for the rising population leading to competition and rivalry are just some of the reasons why do crimes occur.
However, the Philippine National Police (PNP) are now implementing some measures in order to reduce the volume of crime-related incidents in the country such as maintenance of police visibility, having checkpoints etc.
In fact, PNP says that crime rate in the country are significantly decreasing through the years. This claim was supported by their latest crime statistics for 2012.
The data shows that from January to June of 2012, the PNP has recorded an average monthly crime rate of 19.23% in the country, lower than the 22.46% AMCR recorded during the same period in 2011.Moreover, in the following months of July to October, the figure shows a falling and rising number of crimes nationwide. The data gathered for the month of September is in contrast with the expectations of the authorities where in the crime is usually rising due to the coming Christmas season.
PNP says that the data reflects the police efforts to reduce the number of crimes committed in the country, especially during the so-called “BER” months (September to December).
Following the trend, the PNP are now expecting a consistent drop on the crime volume until the end of the year. They are also hopeful that it would not surpass the 248,378 reported crime incidents in the country for the year 2011. That record is 23.36 percent lower compared to 2010 and only half of the total recorded crimes in 2009.-Read More at Agora Business Intelligence (November 8:50PM)
