As Rosenbaum (1988) put it ". . . if social disorganization is the problem and if traditional agents of social control no longer are performing adequately, we need to find alternative ways to strengthen informal social control and to restore a 'sense of neighborhood'". That's precisely what we'd strives to do. Collective action by residents has proved one of the most effective strategies.
The reason for this effectiveness is rather simple: Involving community members in such programs decreases opportunities for criminals to commit crime rather than attempting to change their behavior or motivation. Together we can help each other in more ways.
This program is an effective means of crime control and neighborhood cohesiveness. While not all of the programs in place today go by the same name, they all accomplish the same goal: to bring community members together to fight crime. As Minor aptly wrote, "Neighborhood is the key to maintaining successful relationships."
