Abstract

Armand James A. Vallejo*

The students behave defiantly in the academe because of peer pressure, family and relatives' high expectations, and the environment. This kind of behavior resulted in committing a wrongful act. This descriptive forensic linguistics analysis delved into the different school-recorded incidents and the language of crime used by the perpetrators. It used forensic stylistics analysis to identify the profile, recorded incidents, and the language of crime. It was revealed that females commit more wrongful acts than males by percentage, and all programs in the university have recorded different incidents. Moreover, the university has recorded different incidents, such as school crimes and violations. Lastly, the perpetrator uses the language of crime in maneuvering the wrongful act like the criminal speech act associated with the illocutionary force such as constative, directive, commissive, expressive, and declarative; conspiracy and threatening. It is recommended to strengthen the security in the academe to have a better learning environment and include in the language discussion the results of this study to orient the students on the different cases that may arise during their stay in the university.
