Getting Together
to Fight Crime Something may be wrong in your neighborhood.
There's too much violence, or there's an ever-present threat.
Perhaps you've seen signs of drug dealing. Maybe a string of
robberies has you wondering what's coming next. You're uneasy-even
frightened-for yourself and your family. Perhaps nothing violent
has happened, but you see warning signs-such as vandalism, abandoned
cars, and loitering-that crime and violence may be reaching
your locality soon.
You can change things by getting together with neighbors who
share your worries. Maybe you can organise a Neighborhood Watch
Group to counter the apprehension of crime entering into your
area.
People just like you have cleared drug dealing out of their
locality, made parks safe for children, curbed assaults, eliminated
rapes and murders, wiped out graffiti and vandalism. Everyone
Can Do Something. |

It's Too Risky for Me To

At times crime
may have a strong grip in your neighborhood-street violence,
robbery, drug dealing, burglary. People see the situation as
out of hand. Some people are scared that the criminals will
take revenge if they act.
In such situations there are at least two ways to counter fear.
First, join together. There is strength in numbers. Most criminals
attack victims who are alone-not in groups. And groups can rally
and hold vigils to demonstrate their commitment. Second, you
can work with the police to set up a system that lets people
remain anonymous and still report crimes. |
