Why is it important for ordinary people to help in the fight against crime?
As it is mentioned in the former question. Fighting against crime is a duty that involves all the ordinary citizens in a given community. Crime in a community is a real and prevalent problem in today´s society so we have to learn how to fight against this, so to do this, we have to keep an eye out for anything unusual and suspicious happening in our neighborhood and let the police know about this weird events so they will keep watch on our neighborhood. At the same time we need to organize in our community a suerveillance team formed by neighbors around the area. If you are parents you need to make sure you always know where your children are, who they are with, and what they are doing in order to protect them from any trouble. At home you can get burglar alarms, cctv devices, taking care to secure your home all day long. When women have to walk home alone at nights they can buy a personal alarm to carry with them if they don´t drive or if they can´t get a taxi, but the most impoortant thing is to watch their surroundings when walking along the street. Please don´t use your cell phone, credit cards or take your money out of your purse because shoplifters are wherever you go, don´t appeal their attention using them in public places.
