Abstract

This study examined the recidivism of Children-in-Conflict with the Law (CICL) using three (3) theories, the Ecological Systems Theory, Labeling Theory, and Differential Association Theory. Utilizing Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis (IPA), children ages 15 years and 1 day but not more than 18 years old with pending cases at law who had previously committed offenses at the Barangay or Prosecutor level in Second Chance Home of Calamba (SCH) were asked utilizing a semi-structured interview. To understand how the theories influenced the persistence of recidivism among CICL, the researcher examined their physical, social, and cultural backgrounds. This study generated eleven (11) superordinate themes which were: Dysfunctional Households; Multifaceted Issues in Early School Leaving; Inconsistent Community Support; Offender Profiling; Perceived Psychological Distress due to Formal Labels; Social Marginalization; Inexistent CICL Segregation; Social Modeling; and Delinquent Peers and Family.This study aimed to inform policies and practices that may aid in lowering or stopping CICL recidivism by studying how these theories manifest in participants' actual experiences. By identifying the risk factors associated with recidivism, researchers and policymakers may develop personalized prevention programs that address the core causes of delinquency and aid at-risk adolescents. Investigating recidivism among CICL can result in safer communities and better outcomes for young people involved in the criminal system. This study also proposed an enhanced diversion program for CICL who are currently receiving rehabilitation, CICL who are released as minors, and CICL who are released as adults.

Abstract

This study examines the well-being of street children, focusing on how they navigate daily struggles and find comfort despite challenging circumstances. With an estimated 150 million street children worldwide, including 250,000 in the Philippines, these children face unstable living conditions, abuse, and limited access to basic services. Drawing on Kaginhawaan, a Filipino wellness theory, and using Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis, this research explores how social, emotional, economic, occupational, and spiritual factors shape their resilience. Through participant narratives, five key themes emerged: (1) Atypical Family, revealing broken or nontraditional family ties; (2) Street Hustles, highlighting the survival work children engage in to meet basic needs; (3) Street Struggles, addressing bullying, exploitation, and lost childhoods; (4) Burden of Survival, focusing on exhaustion, debt, and social stigma; and (5) Faith in Survival, which illustrates how spirituality provides strength, comfort, and hope. These themes reflect how children construct meaning and preserve dignity amid harsh realities. The findings affirm that even in survival mode, children draw from internal and external resources, particularly faith, social bonds, and emotional resilience, to endure. Rooted in Kaginhawaan, the study emphasizes the importance of nurturing environments, compassion, and holistic interventions that support both immediate needs and long-term well-being. It highlights the complexity of street children's lives and how they find comfort not in the absence of struggle, but in their response to it. Ultimately, the research calls for policies and programs grounded in empathy and cultural insight to address the multifaceted needs of this vulnerable population.
