5. How can WE as a community make a difference?

People working together can make a difference.

Crime and fear of crime threaten a communities well-being. People become afraid to use streets & parks, suspicion erupts between young and old... and businesses gradually close.

Crime feeds on the isolation it creates

With todays lifestyles -many homes where both parents work, more single parented families and greater job mobility (working out of the area - away for longer than usual) - can contribute to community isolation and weaken civic ties.

YOU & your neighbors can prevent or even break this vicious cycle and in the process build your community into a safer, friendlier and more caring place to live.

We as a community need to stand together to address immediate crime problems, focus on home security and build neighborhood cohesion. Explore circumstances or opportunities that may contribute to crime - such as the physical look and build of buildings, traffic patterns, drug trafficking, very few jobs and lack of recreational activities and opportunities for teenagers, lack of affordable housing - and lets see what long range solutions can be set in place.

Being part of a group such as Crime Busters RSA, we need to become the foundation of communication in crime prevention which will become a stepping stone to community revitalization.

Our main focus that we need to achieve is : To train the community that their neighbors, friends and family are valuable, and we need to lookout for eachother and eachothers valuables.

To alert law enforcement of a crime in progress, or of suspicious criminal activity and communicate with eachother to make our community safer & a better place to live and work and play in.
