WRITING AN INTRODUCTION

DETERMINING THE LEVEL OF PHYSICAL SECURITY GIVEN TO
STUDENTS OF DIVINE WORD COLLEGE OF CALAPAN

CHAPTER I

A. INTRODUCTION
To be able for the faculty and employees work at their best, and students
to learn, a safe and secure environment is badly needed. A secure institution provides a
safe learning environment for students and protected offices for the latter. Thus,
physical securities provide faculty and employees of the institution with the basic
facilities necessary to easily maintain a secure environment for themselves and the
students in their care. Economically, it can increase the effectiveness of a school's total
security approach.
In the earlier days, schools were the safest places for students. Students
were safer than they were at their homes because they were being monitored each and

every second by the school staffs and other fellow students. But it is no longer the same
because of the alarming increase of school violence inside the school premises. Another
disturbing fact about school violence is that the school authorities are not able to control
such inclement activities inside the school. Parents all over the world are concerned
with this very serious issue because their children are prone to be victims of school
violence.
According to psychologist Abraham Maslow's 1943 paper, A Theory of
Human Motivation, every person has five levels of basic needs that must be satisfied
before self-satisfaction can be reached - safety being one of the more important. With
the future in the hands of today's younger generations, they should most definitely be
assured the feeling of safety in order to achieve their fullest potential in this world.
In connection with this, just at first glance, our academic institutions are
doing their tasks of cultivating the youth and developing their intellect. But a closer
look at the reality would show that our schools, particularly the colleges and
universities, experience the challenges and threats present in a larger society.
Moreover, security measures should be considered and these should be in
relation to every other measure used by the school because no security
measure stands alone. The measures adopted should be in proportion to the risk to
have an assurance that a security system will behave as expected. The purpose of
examining and reviewing security measures is either to anticipate changes in risk and to
respond to any changes as quickly as possible.

It is essential to be a keen observer as larger crimes are often signposted
by an increase in the number of minor incidents. For example, the effectiveness of an
intruder alarm depends as much upon denying intruders access to their target, and the
response to an alarm, as it does on the reliability of the detection system.
As the two (2) sayings go Prevention is better than cure and Better safe
than sorry, are sensible ways of thinking approaches and countermeasure to stop a
threat from triggering a risk event. Successful security comes from the intelligent use of
foresight to anticipate danger. However, bear in mind that no security measure will be
implemented perfectly all of the time and no list of security measures can ever hope to
be complete and not every measure will suit every school. After all, security should be
the concern of everyone.
However, the respondents of the study were the seven (8) departments in
DWCC namely; Liberal Arts Department, Criminology Department, Accountancy
Department, Engineering and Architecture Department, Computer Studies Department,
Business Administration Department, Education Department, and HTO Department
respectively.
