PEFRCEPTION OF FRESHMEN CRIMINILOGY STUDENTS IN

RECEPTION RIGHTS IN ANDRES SORIANO COLLEGES OF BISLIG

CHAPTER 1

INTRODUCTION

The Bachelor of Science in Criminology (BS CRIM) is a four-year degree program in the

Philippines that is mainly concerned with the nature of crimes and criminals (Courses, 2021). In

lined with this, some skills are required to become a criminology student like having a strong

analytical thinking, having excellent research skills, having high level of integrity and ethics, and

most especially having a strong communication skills(Leverage edu, 2021). That is why

freshmen criminology students are tested to measure their ability, courage, discipline and

camaraderie through having their reception rites.

Reception rites in the field of criminology is a tradition that aims to welcome the newly

members in the faculty and orient them the life and culture of being a criminology student

(Valdez, 2013). Often times, these rituals are seen by outsiders as harsh and sometimes

inhumane due to their own cultural standards, but for their members, these are just simple

requirements that is necessary to be recognized and accepted by the community faculty. The

College of Criminal Justice Education (CCJE) which is headed by the officers, aim to prepare

students not only academically but also to develop camaraderie and team work as well as to
test and enhance their physical agility and stamina. (CCJE student council, 2019). The officers

together with their fellow seniors have the responsibility to strengthen discipline and foster the

values of leadership, integrity, and accountability among students while serving their

fellowmen, community and country (USU, 2020).

Based on our evaluation in the freshmen about the reception rites, at first they thought

that the reception rites would be easy but it’s not, it was tiring and challenging at the same

time. They are so proud that they accomplish the reception rites and even though they are tired

at the end it was worth it.

As the pandemic have been controlled by the government, Face to Face status of Andres

Soriano Colleges of Bislig also known as Andres Soriano Colleges of Bislig resumed along with

continuing their tradition in welcoming the freshmen criminology students through having their

first reception rites. In line with this, this study aims to determine the perception of freshmen

criminology students of Andres Soriano Colleges of Bislig in their first reception rites.
