Abstract: This study determines spatial autocorrelation of the number of commit across Bureau of Jail Management and Penology (BJMP) jails in National Capital Region (NCR). Data gathered is secondary data from the Regional Operations Division of BJMPRO-NCR including the quarterly count of commit from year 2021 to 2023 of both male and female jail dormitories of NCR.

Using Moran’s Index to measure spatial autocorrelation to indicate the degree to which similar values cluster together in a spatial data set and further analysis using Getis-Ord Local Statistics.
