Theoretical Framework GROUP 5

This document presents the conceptual framework for a study on the effectiveness of Barangay Peacekeeping Action Teams (BPATs) in Baguio City, Philippines. The framework is based on Routine Activity Theory and Public Policy Theory. Routine Activity Theory helps explain crime through the convergence of motivated offenders, suitable targets, and lack of guardians. Public Policy Theory provides context for understanding the formulation, implementation, and evaluation of BPAT policies. The integrated framework allows a comprehensive analysis of how BPATs contribute to crime prevention through environmental and behavioral factors as well as policy interventions.

Framework of the Study

This study is anchored on Routine Activity Theory by Cohen and Felson (1979) and the Theoretical Approaches

Public Policy Theory Sanchawa (2015).

Routine Activity Theory posits that crime occurs when three elements converge: motivated offenders, suitable

targets, and the absence of capable guardians. In the context of BPAT effectiveness: (1) Motivated offenders, the

theory helps understand the behavior and characteristics of offenders in Baguio City, such as their routines,

motivations, and opportunities for committing crimes. (2) Suitable targets, RAT aids in identifying factors that

make certain areas or individuals more vulnerable to crime within Baguio City, such as lack of lighting, poor

security measures, or high pedestrian traffic. (3) Absence of capable guardians, the theory sheds light on the role

of BPATs as guardians within the community, exploring their presence, effectiveness, and strategies for crime

prevention.

Public Policy Theory provides a support for understanding the formulation, implementation, and evaluation of

policies related to BPATs in Baguio City. (1) Policy formulation, analyze how BPAT policies were developed in

response to crime and safety concerns in Baguio City, considering the roles of government agencies, community

organizations, and stakeholders in shaping these policies. (2) Policy implementation, examine how BPAT

policies are put into practice, including resource allocation, training programs, and coordination among different

agencies and community members. (3) Policy evaluation, it assesses the effectiveness of BPAT policies in

achieving their intended outcomes, such as reducing crime rates, improving community safety, and enhancing

residents' perceptions of security.

Integrating Routine Activity Theory and Public Policy Theory allows for a comprehensive analysis of BPAT

effectiveness in Baguio City. By examining the interplay between environmental factors, offender behavior, and

policy interventions, the study can provide insights into how BPATs contribute to crime prevention and
community safety. Additionally, this integration helps identify areas for policy improvement and strategic

interventions to enhance BPAT effectiveness in addressing the unique challenges faced by Baguio City.
