Action note: In: Summary: Abstract The Philippines natural beauty conceals a darker side, where crime is persistent. While the most common causes of crime, such as poverty, unemployment, and several others related to financial needs, have been founded in numerous studies and have represented as the framework for goverment anti-crime laws, the concept of social capital is a helpful tool for highlighting that strengthening intellect and public awareness of community-oriented approaches to addressing causes of crime can lead to massive progress. In 2014, the Philippines was reported as Southeast Asia's biggest sharer of heinous crimes, with a murder rate of 9.7 per 100,000 people having 9,784 reported cases. The government then attributed the reduction in crime to improved law enforcement, although economic reasons and other external factors also seemed to play a vital role. Putnam claims that a lack of social capital, rather than poverty or other realistic measures, is the most vital determinant of the murder rate. To test his theory in the Philippines thoroughly, the researchers employed measurable social capital, including tertiary graduates, familial ties, and employment as general variables, then examined through statistical, econometric diagnostics. Several tests showed that social capital regressors such as employment rate, fertility rate, and registered marriages negatively correlate to crime rates. In contrast to the first three factors, Tertiary Graduates were found to have a strong positive correlation with crime rates.

Abstract The Philippines natural beauty conceals a darker side, where crime is persistent.
