    A case study of community-oriented policing system in two crime-prone barangays in Iloilo City under the jurisdiction of Police Precincts 1 and 3
    Bernaldez, Cristina A. (Division of Social Sciences, College of Arts and Sciences, University of the Philippines Visayas, 2005-03)
    This study primarily deals with police -community relationship on the two crime- prone barangays in Iloilo City. It looked into the dynamics of police-community cooperation and collaboration as they geared towards in pursuing a safe place. It also examined their perception towards each other and public trust on police to establish partnership. In the process of achieving a safe community, they were challenged by the issues and problems towards crime prevention. In order to answer the objectives, the researcher used survey and key informant interviews to serve as primary data. Library research at UPV and Camp Delgado was also done. The findings of the study revealed that barangay residents were willing to cooperate on crime prevention efforts by means of attending civic undertakings and reporting crimes. The police and other support groups also took participation by patrolling and giving feedbacks, as well as participation on lectures and trainings for public education and information. However, it showed that the police needed to initiate more lectures and trainings as well as dialogues. Communities have positive perception on police performance, they also trusted the police regardless of the issues raised by some of them. On the contrary, the police saw the residents as hostile. However, as they employed community interactions and strategies they have seen transformations on the behavior and lifestyle of the residents. Most of the issues and problems raised by the residents were more on police duty, visibility, and communication. The key informants raised the issues and problems on crime activities such as drug addiction and thefts, use of sports and leisure equipment and peace and security. The efforts on the employment of COPS on the two barangays seemed to be successful as manifested by the decline of crime rate.

    Effects of mood and self-awareness on an individual's helping behavior
    Amponin, Charm Marie G. (Division of Social Sciences, College of Arts and Sciences, University of the Philippines Visayas, 2006-03)
    This experimental research was conducted among student participants in the University to determine whether the differences in mood together with self-awareness can increase or decrease a person's helping behavior. It was also the aim of the researcher to find out if there are significant main effects on Mood and in Self-awareness towards helping. Participants were induced in a positive, neutral, or negative mood using articles having happy content, neither happy nor sad content, and sad content, respectively. On the other hand, self-awareness was measured using the mirror procedure. A brief mood questionnaire determined the story's effectiveness on the participant's affect. Using the Analysis of Variance and Tukey’s HSD test, with a computed F at .05 level of significance, results indicated that the main effect and interaction effect of mood and self-awareness produced a significant increase, as well as a significant decrease, in the participant’s expended effort to aid the researcher. Positive mood operated with self-awareness in increasing the participant's helping behavior to aid a person, while negative mood operated with self-awareness in decreasing their motivation to help. Having a positive feeling is viewed to be more inclined in giving assistance to those in need than those having bad feelings. More so when it makes a person aware that it feels good to give such aid. This study on mood and self-awareness confirmed that our emotions do affect behavior in helping others. Specifically, these determinants showed that being helpful may vary as a result of how a person feels at the moment and how consciously aware they are of themselves in a given situation.
