The Problem
The educational institution in the Philippines today have been mandated by the
law to include in their academic curriculum a program on drug education for the purpose
of awareness of those students such criminology students, this is to comply which the
educational approach in dealing with the globally acclaimed drug problem. However, this
educational institution has been problematic in dealing which the teaching process
because of the land issues on lack of materials and reference in awareness to drugs. It
is for this reason that the researchers have committed and conduct studies about this
subject matter and to come up with or solution on this said issues.
Since criminology students are the future police officer of their country, they
must be the first who has an awareness on the drug subject for them to be responsible
enough when they already taking their duties. One of the common issues for some drug
cases because of their involvement. By studying this research they can be aware of
what are the consequences can be punished if their going to violate the laws.
Let us try to look at it. In a general perspective the real problem we are dealing
with, today global market for illicit drugs is the product of a complex evolutionary
process that began in the early years of century, in response to growing public alarm
over high levels or drug use outside and inside of our country. The great powers to look
their first step to control what they have previously sanctioned, through a series of
international conversions buttressed by domestic lawn the production sale and
consumption of a wide range drugs for anything other than medical and scientific
purposes were progressively prohibited around the world.

The focus within the recent years in the relationship between substance use
including alcohol and other drugs criminal behaviour deserves a special and more
extensive attention, the drugs and vice problems is current social problem that has
evoke concerted action on the part of government and almost all sanctions of our
society for its solution.
The purpose and benefits of this study is to be aware the students if what are
the consequences they will be going to get if they will be using illegal drugs. There are
effects may encounter by drugs especially to the students that may caught by using
drugs they can get into prison and ruin their lives. The benefits of this research is be
aware the students and avoid using illegal drugs.
Theoretical Framework
The Theoretical Framework of this was anchored on the different theories: The
Theory of Drug Addiction, Social Learning Theory of Addiction and Recovery Implications
and Self Awareness Theory.
Theory of Drug Addiction (Harold, 2013) describes three models of why people
become addicted to drugs or engage in substance abuse to use the modern
terminology: the outside and inside of our country. The great powers to look their first
step to control what they have previously sanctioned, through a series of international
conversions buttressed by domestic lawn the production sale and consumption of a wide
range drugs for anything other than medical and scientific purposes were progressively

Theoretical Framework
The Theoretical Framework of this was anchored on the different theories: the
theory of drug addition, Social Learning Theory of Addiction and Recovery Implications
and Self Awareness Theory.
Theory of Drug Addiction (Harold, 2013) describes three models of why people
become addicted to drugs or engage in substance abuse to use the modern
terminology: the disease model, the physical dependency model and the positive
reinforcement model. At one time people with problems associated with alcohol or other
drugs were regarded as sinners or criminals, and any help they receive came via the
courts or the church. Toward the end of the 19 th century the medical profession began
to use the word addiction as both an explanation for, and diagnosis of, excessive drug
use. The idea was formalized in the 1950s when the world health organization (WHO)
and American Medical Association (AMA) classified alcoholism as a disease. One
consequences of this change in attitude is the notion that the addict is not in control of
their behaviour, that they require treatment rather that the punishment.
Recovery consists of learning new ways to cope with stress. This might include
developing friendships with people who do no use addictive substances. By associating
with people who enjoy life without alcohol or drug, they observe and learn something
new. Recovery might also include watching a friend, coach, sponsor, or therapist
modelling healthy behaviour. They ould then begin practicing these behaviour. For
instance, a therapist and therapy participant could role-play a situation where a friend is
offering them drugs. With practice, the therapy participant would learn how to cope with
peer pressure to use.
Research since the 1970s has strongly supported self-awareness theory (Duval
and Silva 2001). When people focus attention on the self, they compare the self with
standards, try harder to meet standards, and show stronger emotional responses to
meeting of failing to meet standard. The tendency to change the self to match a
standard depends on other variables, particularly perceptions of how hard it will be to
attain the standards. Remarkably, many experiments have shown that when people are
not self-focused, their actions are often unrelated to their personal standards, self-
awareness is needed for people to reduce disparities between their actions and their
ideals.

Definition of Terms
For better understanding of this work, the terms herein mentioned are defined
conceptually and operationally.
Drug awareness- the ability to perceive the negative effect of abusing drugs
and drug addiction.
Drugs- a street drug making one feels high, or an antidepressant helping the
chemicals in one’s body to trigger properly.
In order for the researchers to give better outlook and design of the study, a
review of the previous studies and literature was conducted. These papers were made
as references of the researchers and these were proved to be helpful providing direction
to the current study.

Gloria reminds teachers of their role in preventing drug abuse among Filipino
people who teaching learning process. The need to provide immediately or prompt
action on this drug menace, reminds the teachers vital role in helping the students to be
free from drugs by means of proper education. With the knowledge that drug abusers
are mostly young and belong to school age group it is therefore necessary that as early
elementary pupils should be made aware about the effects of drugs to man. Teachers
should not be contented with simply making their students to learn but they also ensure
the students are not hooking uo on prohibited drugs.
To Wish in his article, He stresses that some drug in the United States is viewed
by the majority Americans as acceptable behaviour. Many adults and children believe

that there is nothing wrong and taking certain drugs to lose weight; drinking several
cups of coffee, tea or cola each day; smoking cigarettes, having one or two before of
after dinner; or using an over the counter on prescription drugs to get rid of headache.
He further expounds that many billions of dollars are spent by Americans each year on
prescription drugs, caffeinated drinks, cigarettes, and various alcoholic beverages.
One factor that may affect urge ratings but that has received relatively little
attention among investigators in drug use opportunity. On the one hand, craving is often
described as state associated with frustration (Tiffany, 1990). Accordingly, one might
expect craving to be more intense during “frustrating” manipulations in which drug use
is prevented, compared with experimental situations in which drug use is prevented,
compared with experimental situations in which drug use is possible (Niaura et al.,
1988). On the other hand, drug use opportunity may enhance the experience of craving
compared with situation in which drugs are off-limits. It has been observed, for
instance, that orthodox Jewish smokers, who are forbidden from smoking on the
Sabbat, report little difficulty abstaining (Schachter, Silverstein, & Perlick, 1977)
Consider these: a PDEA study showed that nearly 9,000 or 20.51 percent of the
country’s total 42,065 barangays are drug-affected. The sad reality is that 92.10 percent
of all barangays in the National Capital Region are drug-affected followed by 33.78
percent from Calabarzon (Cavite, Laguna, Batangas, Rizal, and Quezon) region.
PDEA chair, Undersecretary Arturo G. Cacdac Jr. also noted an alarming increase
in the number of rogue public offiials and employees getting involved in illegal drug
trafficking and abuse in the country amid a report which showed that last year alone, a
total of 190 government employees were arrested for violation of Republic Act 9165 or
the Comprehensive Dangerous Drugs Act of 2002.
The main drug or the most popular drug in the United States is marijuana. In
fact, it is probably the most popular drug in the entire world. This is mainly due to the
fact that it isn’t relatively hard to cultivate and isn’t a hard drug, which is to say that its
effects are temporary and not extreme . in fact, it is impossible to overdose on
marijuana. Yet the lives of hundreds of thousands of people have been potentially
ruined due to them being found with just a few grams of marijuana in their possession.
In just 2013, 1.5 million people were arrested on nonviolent drug-related charges. This
is why we have focused on marijuana to determine a state’s attitude towards drugs,

considering its reputation as agateway drug as well as being the most common drug in
the world.
Ministry of Home affairs (2011) Singapore has one of the strictest laws on drug
related offences. The most well-known of these has to be the laws on drug trafficking.
Notices which warn of the severity of such offences are prominently displayed on
airports and Customs to deter potential offenders. Singapore’s laws on the legality of
drugs comply with that of most other countries such as Belgium or United States. For
example , marijuana (also known as cannabis) is strictly outlawed in Singapore, but is
legal to a certain extent in certain American states. For a list of drugs prohibited in
Singapore.
Due to the difficulty in proving the guilt of a drug consumer or trafficker beyond
reasonable doubt, the law adopts several presumptions which make it easier to impute
the guilt of accused person. For example, under section 22 of the MDA, once a
controlled drug laws, unless he can prove that the drug consumption was involuntary.
This is a difficult burden to discharge. Therefore, reasons such as I did not know that
the pill my friend gave me was ecstacy! are unlikely to hold water. In addition ,
