Abstract

THE KEYS TO SUCCESS OF THIS PROGRAM ARE COORDINATION, COMMITMENT, COOPERATION, AND COMMUNITY.

ALSO, BURGLARY REPORTING RATES IN THE AREA INCREASED, AND THERE WAS A HIGHER PROPORTION OF CALLS TO THE POLICE FOR IN-PROGRESS BURGLARS THAN BEFORE THE PROGRAM MET OR EXCEEDED ITS GOAL OF INVOLVING 30 PERCENT OF THE TARGET-AREA HOUSEHOLDS....BDS
