o Definition of Terms
For purposes of clarity to establish a common frame of reference for the study, the
following terms are defined operationally as they are used in this study:
Crime is the breach of rules or laws for which the Philippine government (via
mechanisms such as legal system) can ultimately prescribe a conviction.
Crime prevention refers to strategies and measures that seek to reduce the risk of crimes
occurring, and their potential harmful effects on individuals and society, including fear of crime,
by intervening to influence their multiple causes.
Homicide refers to the act of a human killing a human being. A common form of
homicide, for example, would be murder. It can also describe a person who has committed such
an act, though this use is rare in modern English. Homicide is not always an illegal act, so
although "homicide" is often used as a synonym for "murder", this is not formally correct
Index crimes refer to those violations of the penal code considered to have
socioeconomic significance, and occur with sufficient regularity to be meaningful. These include
crimes against person (murder, homicide, physical injury and rape), and crimes against property
(robbery and theft).
Project Double Barrel
Rape is an assault by a person involving sexual intercourse with another person without
that person's consent.

another, shall be guilty of the crime of serious physical injuries.
