{"abstract":"This research assesses the effectiveness and influence of property crime deterrent policies in Trinidad, Bohol, a rural area where efficient crime prevention depends on the best use of existing law enforcement resources. The study examines property crime rates, police presence, community watch programs, surveillance technology, and environmental design approaches. Using a quantitative research approach and consistent questionnaires, data were gathered from 120 respondents—including residents, PNP officials, and barangay authorities. Investigating the link between the perceived efficacy of deterrent methods and absolute crime reduction using descriptive statistics and Pearson correlation analysis revealed that The results point to the most effective remedies as better law enforcement, increased police visibility, and more first-rate street illumination. The most effective approach has been been community participation in crime prevention, promoting cooperation between law enforcement departments and communities. The perceived efficacy of deterrent tactics and their effect on lowering property crime rates showed a noteworthy positive connection (r = 0.8588). Studies show that the most successful response to property crime in rural regions is a complete one comprising law enforcement, community participation, and technology solutions. The recommendations include improving police patrols, growing neighborhood watch programs, modernizing surveillance systems, and thus boosting crime prevention education. These steps guarantee a continuous reduction in property crime rates and enhance the current crime prevention mechanisms in Trinidad and Bohol.","abstract_source":"original","authors":["Marianita B.
