Nearly one in every ten Filipino families (9.6 percent) was the victim of a common crime in the first half of this year, according to a recent survey by the Social Weather Stations (SWS).

The figure is slightly higher than the 8.6 percent victimization rate reported in the same period last year, but represents a general decline from a high of 14.9 percent in August 2004 and 13.2 from September 2006 to February 2007.

The least number of common crimes was reported in the Visayas, the most in Metro Manila.

The SWS victimization figures are much higher than the number of crimes actually reported to the police, and is highest in Metro Manila, SWS said in a statement released yesterday.

The SWS survey, released as the second quarter report for 2007, also found that 8.9 percent of families nationwide lost property to pickpockets, burglars or car thieves, while 1.8 percent suffered physical violence.

In Metro Manila, clearly the most crime-prone region in the country, 15 percent of families reported they had been victimized by pickpockets, 5.3 percent had their homes broken into by burglars, and 4 percent had a family member victimized by physical violence in the first six months of 2007.

About 1.8 percent of vehicle-owning families in Metro Manila experienced car theft over the last six months. No car theft cases were found in the rest of Luzon, Visayas and Mindanao.

Luzon was generally second to Metro Manila in the number of reported victims of crimes, with 6.3 percent saying they were victimized by pickpockets, 3.7 percent victimized by home burglars, and 2.3 percent physically hurt in common crimes.

Mindanao had the least number of pickpocket reports (4 percent), but was second to Metro Manila in reported home burglaries (4 percent). In terms of people physically hurt in common crimes, the war-torn southern region was second to the lowest (0.7 percent).

The Visayas had the lowest number of people saying they were victimized by home burglaries (1.3 percent), or physical hurt in common crimes (0.3 percent). Reports of pickpocket incidents were second to the lowest at 4.3 percent.
