Abstract:

This study was conducted to determine the different domains in a person's life before his conviction of crime committed against the person that affected him for committing such. Moreover, this study aimed to create programs that would stand as a preventive measure towards criminality, specifically for those at the beginning of their criminal career towards delinquency. The researchers used a descriptive method; the study used a standardized questionnaire distributed to two hundred seventy-two (229) inmates of the New Bilibid Prison in Muntinlupa City charged with violation of the crimes of murder, homicide, and rape. Furthermore, the researchers sought to answer the hypotheses that there is a high difference between the demographic profile of the respondents and their assessment of their life events. There is a high relationship between the demographic profile of the respondents and their assessment of their life events. Based on the conclusions, the researchers proposed programs to help the community prevent the commitment of crime, especially for those at risk of committing the same, based on the evaluation of the results gathered from the study.
