Background
For this research, it was formulated from
a single conversation that was overheard by
the researchers wherein one asks about the
college degree being taken by the other. The
reaction of being shocked by the one who was
asking, when the person being asked answered
that she was taking Bachelor of Science in
Criminology and that reaction was inculcated
to the researchers mind.
This
triggered
inquiries
from
the
researchers head, like the question why
would be someone be shocked if a female is
taking this kind of course? and then it
followed more and more questions that made
the researchers choose this topic as their
thesis.

Research Design
This study made use of the quantitative method of
research.
Quantitative
method
refers
to
the
systematic
empirical
investigation
of
social
phenomena
via
statistical,
mathematical
or
computational techniques. The objective of this
method is to develop and employ mathematical models,
theories and/or hypotheses pertaining to phenomena.
The process of measurement is the central of
quantitative
research
because
it
provides
the
fundamental connection between empirical observation
and
mathematical
expression
of
quantitative
relationships. (Wikipedia)
Primarily, the researchers have utilized this
method to give a precise numerical value to the
population and survival rate of females in Data
Center College of the Philippines, Laoag City from
year 2009 2013 in order to show an accurate set of
numbers that will represent the said subject matters
and compare these numbers from each other to further
understand the social behavior of females in relation
this field of knowledge.

Respondents

female students, who are officially enrolled to the
course of Bachelor of Science in Criminology of Data
