A program that focuses on the systematic study of crime as a sociopathological phenomenon, the behavior of criminals, and the social institutions evolved to respond to crime. Includes instruction in the theory of crime, psychological and social bases of criminal behavior, social value systems and the theory of punishment, criminal law and criminal justice systems, penology, rehabilitation and reci
divism, studies of specific types of crime, social attitudes and policy, and applications to specific issues in law enforcement administration and policy. The Criminology and Forensic Science program of Leyte Colleges started in 1994 with more than 80 pioneering students. The following year, it had its full operation and was recognized by the Commission on Higher Education (CHED) in Region VIII through the leadership of Dr. Angel Cordero (Dean-College of Criminology and Forensic Science) and utmost support of then LC President Dr. Virginio A. The program of the Bachelor of Science in Criminology and Forensic Science was introduced to provide the community with professionally competent and morally upright graduates who can deliver efficient and effective services along public safety and order. The main thrust of the program is a significant institution actively and continually involved in turning out graduates who will lead the nation in addressing the vital problems of crime control and meeting the demands for global competence. The BS in Criminology has become the flag bearer of the School being the first institution in the region to complete its forensic apparatus and equipment. The Leyte Colleges has established a good name and is consistent in producing morally and intellectually imbued policemen. Also, most of the Deans in other universities and colleges in the region that offers Criminology courses are alumni of Leyte Colleges. Its BS Crim graduates are top notchers in the National Criminology Licensure Examination. To name a few, Edward Macabenta, ranked 8th place during the 1998 Licensure Examination; PO1 Shyrille Tan got a rating of 85.75 making her 5th placer in the May 2005 Board Exam; while Gilford Entroliso with a rating of 87.07 and Joey Blones with a rating of 85.95, ranked 4th and 10th place respectively, in the National Criminology Licensure Examination held in October 2005. The list of board passers with their corresponding ranks was announced by the Professional Regulation Commission (PRC) and the same may be viewed in its official website. Thus, the Dean and the faculty members of the Criminology Department of Leyte Colleges were cited for their splendid effort in nurturing and motivating their young students in building a good future for themselves. Truly, the Criminology students of Leyte Colleges may not be the best, but the attitude and perseverance inculcated in their minds by their mentors are the main factors that lead them to success.
