Nothing is more effective in putting a stop to neighborhood crime than the neighborhood watch. All you have to do is pay attention. If you are looking out your front window and you see something suspicious, like a person crawling through a neighbor's window, call the police. If each house on the block participates, over 100 eyes would be watching the block at all times, much better than any police department can do. So, pay attention, and together, we can put a stop to neighborhood crime.
