Abstract

This study aims to assess the trend of domestic crimes reported in Davao City. The study followed the quantitative research method and utilized secondary domestic/criminal violence data collected by the Davao City Police Office (DCPO). Descriptive statistics, trend analysis, and percentage change were used to analyze the data gathered. Results revealed that theft attained the highest incidence among the domestic crime cases as reported in the Davao City Police Office in 2017, 2018, and 2019 but was dislodged by rape in 2020. Meanwhile, the number of crimes reported in Davao City has decreased over four years. Implications of the findings were discussed.
