Abstract
ABSTRACT Many studies and statistical reports presented by anti-drug agencies in the Philippines suggest that illicit drug use in the Philippines had been increasing substantially. This study aims to analyse the locations of drug-related incidents in Manila City in October 2017 through the analysis of spatial point patterns. The point pattern for drug-related crimes was then tested for spatial dependence with specific establishments in Manila City such as schools, churches, and police stations. Notable results presented in this paper are: (i) the imposition of Philippine Drug Enforcement Agency to handle all drug-related crimes had significantly decreased the number of reported drug crimes, (ii) drug-related crimes were clustered on residential areas, (iii) drug-related crimes were inclined to happen far from colleges and universities, and (iv) drug-related crimes happened more frequently near public high schools.
菲律宾禁毒机构提供的许多研究和统计报告表明，菲律宾的非法药物使用一直在大幅增加。本研究旨在通过分析空间点模式，分析2017年10月马尼拉市毒品相关事件的地点。与毒品有关的犯罪的点模式随后与马尼拉市的特定场所(如学校、教堂和警察局)进行空间依赖性测试。本文得出的显著结论是:(1)菲律宾缉毒局(Philippine Drug Enforcement Agency)强制处理所有与毒品有关的犯罪，大大减少了报告的毒品犯罪数量;(2)与毒品有关的犯罪集中在居民区;(3)与毒品有关的犯罪倾向于发生在远离学院和大学的地方;(4)与毒品有关的犯罪更频繁地发生在公立高中附近。
