THE INFLUENCE OF LOCAL CONDITIONS ON CRIMES.--[Continued] Examining the general averages thus obtained concerning offenses from aggressive tendencies, it will be seen that the provinces having a larger average than fifty are, in the Northern region, Pangasinan, with 107,and Ilocos Sur, with 77; in the Central and Southern region of Luzon, Batangas with 77, and Nueva Ecija with 57; and in the Bisayan ard Mindanao region, Cebu with 191, Occidental Negros with 90, Capiz with 88, Oriental -Negros with 68, Iloilo with 61, Leyte with 60 and Samar with 54. If we compare the total averages of each region, it will be observed that, as to the crime of parricide, the region of the North gives a general average of 14, that of Central and Southern Luzon, 19, and that of Bisayas, 25. The following are the averages concerning murder: 95 in the region of Northern Luzon, 142 for that of Central and Southern Luzon, and 236 for Bisayas and Mindanao. In respect to homicide, we have the following averages: 77, 105 and 221, respectively, and as for physical injuries, the following averages appear: 214, 271 and 415 for each of the regions of which we have been speaking. From these data it can be inferred that the greatest general averages for crimes from aggressive tendencies belong to the region of Bisayas and Mindanao. And if we should establish a comparison on a basis of ten thousand inhabitants in each region, it turns out that the Bisayan region also has the greatest ratios, except with regard to the crime of parricide, touching which the highest ratio, 0.09, goes to the region of Northern Luzon, while the region of Central and Southern Luzon and that of Bisayas and Mindanao only show a ratio of 0.08 and 0.07, respectively. So far as murder is concerned, in each region we have the following ratios: 0.61, 0.51 and 0.70; as to homicide, 0.41, 0.44, and 0.67, and regarding physical injuries, 1.00, 1.14 and 1.26. From the foregoing it appears that the crimes perpetrated through the influence of aggressive tendencies predominate in the Bisayan and Mindanao region. As regards crimes committed upon the impulse of nutritive tendencies, the foregoing tables show that the averages over 100 belong to the provinces of Pangasinan with 238, Ilocos Norte with 130, Ilocos Sur with 111, and Tarlac with 100, in the region of Northern Luzon; Manila with 287, Laguna with 194, Batangas with' 138, and Nueva Ecija with 133, in Central and Southern Luzon; and in the Bisayan region, the provinces of Cebú with 160, Iloilo with 140 and Occidental Negros with 134. Comparing the general averages for crimes from nutritive tendencies in each region, it will be noted that Central and Southern Luzon has the greatest averages in regard to crimes against property. But from a comparison of the same averages for each ten thousand inhabitants in each region it appears that in regard to the crime of robbery, Northern Luzon gives a ratio of 3.44 and Central and Southern Luzon, 1.88, while the region of Bisayas and Mindanao only gives a ratio of 1.03. As to the crime of theft, the region of the North has a ratio of 2.88, that of Central and Southern Luzon, 2.55, and that of the Bisayas, 1.38. And regarding the crime of "estafa" (embezzlement), the said regions have the following ratios respectively: 0.84, 1.43 and 0.68. From the foregoing it appears that the crimes of robbery and theft preponderate in the region of Northern Luzon and that of "estafa" in Central and Southern Luzon. With respect to the crimes produced by genesial tendencies, it appears from the preceding table that the averages over 50 are as follows: for Pangasinan, 72, in the region of the North; Manila, 80, Cavite 72, Laguna 70, and Nueva Ecija 54, in the Central and Southern Luzon region; and in the region of Bisayas, Cebu gives an average of 77. Comparing the general averages of each region, it is seen that the Northern region gives a total average of 121; that of Central and Southern Luzon, 190, and that of the Bisayas and Mindanao, 155, as to the crime of adultery; for the crime of rape the respective general averages of each region are 60, 240 and 90; concerning the crime of abduction, the respective averages are 40, 119 and 70, and for the crime of estupro (seduction) the averages are 31, 77 and 63, respectively. As will be noted, the greatest averages all belong to the region of Central and Southern Luzon. Establishing now a comparison for every ten thousand inhabitants in each region, the respective ratios are 0.78, 0.80 and 0.46 as to the crime of adultery; 0.39, 1.00 and 0.27 in regard to the crime of rape; as to the crime of |
