Abstract
Routine Activity Theory unveils the hidden opportunities embedded in everyday activities and behaviors, shedding light on the intricacies of property victimization. This research explores the influence of self-control, target attractiveness, exposure, and guardianship on property victimization, with a focus on college students in Angeles City. The aim is to enhance their understanding and ability to protect themselves and their belongings. A descriptive survey research design is employed, utilizing stratified random sampling to select participants from three prominent institutions in Angeles City. Data will be analyzed using Pearson Moment Correlation and Multivariate Regression Analysis, with a significance level set at 0.05. The synthesis elucidates the complex relationships between self-control, target attractiveness, exposure, guardianship, and property victimization. Preliminary findings suggest that individuals with higher self-control may paradoxically be more susceptible to victimization. While exposure to disruptions in daily routines is strongly linked to property victimization, the roles of target attractiveness and effective guardianship remain inconclusive due to small sample sizes. This underscores the need for further research to inform targeted interventions for community safety.
