Determining the Nature of Index Crimes in Bacoor, Cavite, Philippines
Abstract— The rapid commercial developments, the number of access roads, and the growing population in Bacoor, Cavite is making the city a highly probable prime location for crime. To ensure effective crime deterrence and reduction even with limited manpower, frequency analysis was used to analyze the nature of index crimes and derive insights on how to approach crime reduction and deterrence in Bacoor city. The results revealed that theft and robbery are the top index crimes, which occur mostly during rush hour times in highly urbanized barangays, especially those with malls. The spikes and dips of index crime occurrences in respect to time, day, and months show that index crime suspects in Bacoor follow a logical fashion, making it easy for authorities to come up with effective interventions on a holistic and tactical level.
