Together they presented their ongoing works on the use of problem-oriented policing and situational crime prevention approach to address illegal and harmful activities toward the remaining tamaraws at Mts. Iglit-Baco Natural Park in Mindoro. Their presentation revolved around how crime scripts- and harm scripts – can be used to better understand both illegal hunting of external non-indigenous poachers and traditional hunting by taobuid indigenous communities in order to develop crime- and harm-prevention strategies that could complement current law enforcement systems around tamaraw protection.
