THE Crime Solution Efficiency Rates (CSER) of the Zamboanga Peninsula Police Office (ZPPO) dropped by 6.8 percent in 2008 compared to the previous year, a latest crime report statistic said.
The detailed report, based on National Statistical Coordination Board (NSCB) data, showed that the ZPPO has solved 1,557 cases out of the total 1,858 crimes recorded in 2008.
“This is a worse scenario as compared to 2006 and 2007 where the CSER were 91.7 percent and 90.6 percent, respectively,” the NSCB stated.
The province of Zamboanga del Norte recorded the highest CSER in 2008 with 87.09 percent, while Zamboanga City had the lowest with 80.50 percent.
The NSCB also noted that Zamboanga del Norte consistently registered the highest CSER from 2005 to 2008, with 95.8, 95.1, 92.3, and 87.9, respectively.
Zamboanga Sibugay, meantime, showed a consistent increase in the number of reported crimes from 2005 to 2008, with 209, 210, 277, and 347, respectively.
Zamboanga City showed a decreasing number of crimes committed from 2005 to 2008, with 1,164, 1,055, 827, and 477, respectively.
The NSCB said the number of reported crimes in Zamboanga Peninsula decreased by 14.57 percent from 2,175 total crimes in 2007 to 1,858 in 2008.
Zamboanga Peninsula's reported index crimes decreased from 1,544 in 2007 to 1,336 in 2008, as well as the non-index crimes from 631 to 522 covering the same period.
Again, based on the NSCB report, physical injuries topped the statistics at 37 percent, with 492 cases among index crimes reported in 2008. This was followed by murder and robbery, with 27 percent and 14 percent, respectively.
About 10 percent of the total index crimes registered in 2008 was homicide while the two least committed index crimes were theft and rape, which comprised of eight percent and four percent, respectively.
Index crimes refer to crimes that are suitably significant and which occur with suitable regularity to be meaningful such as murder, homicide, robbery, physical injury, theft and rape. WITH REPORTS FROM BONG GARCIA
