Crime is a fact of life in a lot of urban areas. Some people just ignore the problem, but other people want to get
involved and find a way to make their communities safer. Some of these people are students who participate in
service programs around the country. Not only are these young people finding ways to help their communities, but
they are also helping prevent and control crime.
Neighborhood watch
Students in neighborhood watch programs are working with local police to tackle crime. Pairs of students stand
watch in local homes and businesses during times when most crimes typically occur so that they can keep an eye out
for suspicious activity and report what they see to law enforcement. This gives law enforcement the opportunity to
act immediately. Not only do neighborhood watches help cut down on crime, but they also spread awareness about
crime prevention. Students in the program understand that neighborhoods are safer when people look out for each
other.
Shoplifting education
Shoplifting has become a particular problem at shopping malls in major cities around the country. People take small
items and clothing without paying for them, hoping they will not get caught. Often these shoplifters are young
students with no other criminal record. Although many of them are just doing it for fun, if they are caught, a criminal
record could create a lot of problems in the future, especially related to employment. In this program, older students
help educate younger students about the consequences of irresponsible behavior such as shoplifting.
Safety education
In this program, older students teach younger children about how to stay safe in their communities. They give the
young children advice about walking in pairs or groups instead of by themselves. The younger children are also told
to avoid carrying devices like tablets or smart phones or wearing expensive jewelry. The older students warn the
children not to let their guard down and to stay aware of their surroundings. If someone they don’t know approaches
them, they should either find an adult, such as a teacher or a family member, or shout as loud as they can.
Programs like these are making a positive contribution to urban communities around the country and encouraging
young students to become mature and responsible adults.
