Neighborhood Safety
In the interest of safety, many people are organizing neighborhood crime watches. If you are unfamiliar with this concept, it's an effective way to prevent crime in your area. Maybe you don't have a problem with crime in your neighborhood. If not, that's great! But it always helps to be safety-conscious.
