Family Matters: the Double-Edged Sword of Police-Community Connections
Family Matters: The Double-Edged Sword of Police-Community Connections Dotan A. Haim,∗ Matthew J. Nanes,y and Michael W. Davidson z August 13, 2019 Abstract Scholars and policymakers frequently advocate recruiting \embedded" bureaucrats with strong ties to citizens to improve service delivery. Yet, officials who are too embedded in their community are often blamed for corruption, favoritism, and ineffec- tiveness. We argue that this ambiguity stems from a mismatch between individual- and community-level effects of embeddedness. While personal ties increase engagement by connected citizens, community-level embeddedness marginalizes unconnected citizens and undermines claims of impartiality. We test this argument on public safety provision in the Philippines. We measure family networks in 289 villages, locate police officers within those networks, and analyze responses from two surveys of citizens. Citizens are more willing to trust and engage with officers to whom they are more closely related. However, in villages where officers are highly embedded, unconnected citizens evalu- ate their performance more poorly. Consequently, village-level officer embeddedness is associated with higher rates of family feuds and neighbor disputes. ∗Dartmouth College, [email protected] ySaint Louis University, [email protected] zUniversity of California San Diego, [email protected].

5. Reliability of the Barangay-Based Smallholder Tree Farm Inventory: Research and Policy Implications
5. RELIABILITY OF THE BARANGAY-BASED SMALLHOLDER TREE FARM INVENTORY: RESEARCH AND POLICY IMPLICATIONS Edwin Cedamon, Steve Harrison, John Herbohn and Eduardo Mangaoang The reliability of the inventories of smallholder tree farms conducted by barangay chairmen in selected municipalities in Leyte has been evaluated. The average number of trees per farm reported in the barangay-based inventory is 40 while the average verified number of trees is 49. The average stand age reported is 9.25 while the verified stand age is 9.03. No significant difference was found between the barangay-based inventory and verified data in terms of number of trees and stand age. Regression analysis shows that the difference in number of trees reported and the verified number of trees is directly proportional to the aggregate number of trees grown, thus the more trees grown, the higher the difference. The species reported by barangay-chairmen were found to be correct although some of them were reported using local names. The response rate of barangay chairmen in conducting the barangay-based inventory was acceptably high. INTRODUCTION A study to evaluate the reliability of a barangay-based inventory of smallholder tree farms has been conducted as part of the ACIAR Tree Farm Project1. Findings of this study were reported by Cedamon (2007) and Cedamon et al. (2007). The data from this study have been revisited, and the data set for an analysis of the number of trees has been refined. Key issues discussed in this paper are the following: first, ‘how reliable is the

Corruption Control Measures Inthe Philippines
Philippine .Journal. of Public Administration; Vol. XXIX, No.2 (April 1985). • Corruption Control Measures in the Philippines: 1979-1982 MA. CONCEPCION P. ALFILER* The government's anti-corruption strategy has been essentially punitive rather than preventive in approach, as shown by an examination of the operations ofthe San diganbayan and the Tanodbayan. The experience of the Philippine Overseas Employ ment Administration validatesprevious findings that leadership, a professionalizedstaff, systematized rules and procedures, and continuous dialogues with clients are more po tent factors in preventing corruption. It is proposed that the government adopt a stra tegy which, while including a system for punishing the corrupt, should also elicit the the active participation of the public and the support of the government officials in • preventing corruption. Introduction Because of its magnitude, complexity and elusive character, corruption requires a systematic, scientific and multi-pronged description and analysis of the causes and factors that enhance or deter its occurrence. This demand ing task can only be undertaken if conscious effort is directed at contin-' uously building up on our existing body of knowledge on the subject. This should be complemented by simultaneous monitoring of the outcomes of current societal strategies aimed at reducing this problem to more manage able and less damaging proportions. This paper attempts to apply this approach in an effort to arrive at anti-corruption strategies that could effectively minimize, if not eliminate, corruption in Philippine government. Specifically, this paper: (1) summarizes the findings of an earlier study on the factors which • facilitate or inhibit the commission of corruption at the agency level,as well as the various means of dealing with the problem; (2) describes and analyzes the nature and main elements of the government's anti-corruption control measures adopted after the earlier study was conducted; and, *AssociateProfessor, Collegeof Public Administration, University of the Philippines.

Manual on Community Oriented Policing System
MANUAL ON COMMUNITY ORIENTED POLICING SYSTEM PNPM-DS-8-95 CHAPTER I UNDERSTANDING COPS Introduction The police role in society has increasingly become a significant issue in contemporary policing. The police begin to encompass a greater function considering the complexity of the social problems and enormity of issues confronting peace and security. Public expectations and organizational concerns demand innovative approaches to policing. Criticisms from various sectors require police organization to assess current practices and functions and align them with the needs and values of the community. Global experiences, likewise, assert a shift in policing philosophy and operating style - from the traditional incident-driven to a problem-focused, community based approach. One of the major limitations of professional policing and its crime control policies is the failure of the police to elicit the full cooperation and participation of community residents, community organizations, and other agencies who share mutual responsibility for crime prevention. Today, police officials and community leaders have introduced innovative policies, strategies, programs, and schemes to remedy this shortcoming. Community policing or problem-oriented policing is the latest and most popular innovation in the police field in lieu of the traditional "911" approach. Progressive police organizations have realized that they have to accomplish more aside from responding to citizen complaints and emergencies by engaging in planned activities to prevent and reduce crime.

The Political Face of Poverty: Cases of Human Rights Violations in Pasil, Cebu City
Journal of Asia Pacific Studies ( 2011 ) Vol 2, No 2 , 132 -148 The Political Face of Poverty: Cases of Human Rights Violations in Pasil, Cebu City Rhoderick John S. Abellanosa, M.Pol.Sci., M.A. University of San Carlos, Cebu City, Philippines Abstract: Working within the framework of poverty as a multidimensional condition of limitations (Chambers 2007, 2006, 2005, 1995) and the absence of well-being (Narayan, Chambers and others 2000) this paper focuses on the political dimension of poverty particularly in the area of human rights. What is thus figuratively referred to as the political face of poverty is neither the economic nor the statistical of depravity but lived- experiences and over-all condition that forms a web of humiliation, manipulation and isolation among others. In this paper, the political face of poverty needs is understood and presented qualitatively within the context of the landscape of power relations concrete in the experiences of human rights violations among the poor. It is, in a profound sense, the gestalt of the narratives of the poor themselves (cf. environment, participants and methodology for an elaboration of this) and their experiences. The depth and concreteness of these narratives constitute the very data subject to analysis and serve as the basis as well for the formulation of the conclusion. Key words: Political Face, Multi-dimensional Poverty, Barangay, Sitio, Barangay Tanod 1. Introduction Poverty is political. It is a condition also characterized by specific disadvantages involving those in power and their institutions. Oftentimes, empirical social sciences prefer not to say that power, privileged position, and influence, are associated with the rich and the poor being in a condition that is exactly the opposite.

Barangay officials, barangay police or tanod and other constituents participated in the study. Data collected by means of respondents’ demographic profile, performance question assessed by their duties and responsibilities. Employing a descriptive-correlated design, significant difference was being explored. Interviews with experienced law enforcers like police personnel and people with reputation were conducted to support and validate findings. Recommendations on enhance training programs for them to efficiently discharge their duties and responsibilities and amendments to honorarium was proposed to compensate the risk and sacrifices of barangay tanods in their service. This study was anchored on the duties and responsibilities that are provided under the Memorandum Circular 2003-42 with the subject “Guidelines on Professionalizing the Barangay Tanod”. The researcher tested the hypothesis, “there is no significant difference between the constituents (including tanod) and barangay officials (including barangay councilor and staff) in the perception of the performance of Barangay Police Security Officers or Tanod’s duties and responsibilities. The descriptive method of research was used in the conduct of this study, and the use of questionnaire checklist. The statistical used were frequency, percentage distribution mean and t-test.
