Neighborhood Watch
Introduction
Crime happens in every neighborhood, whether it is an upscale community or a rundown slum. It is a beautiful idea to think that if a community comes together and neighbors watch each other’s back, then we can eliminate crime completely. However, we all know that as wonderful as that would be, it is simply unrealistic. On the other hand, it is possible to reduce the number of crimes to the minimum if the community come together and work with each other. Therefore, it is important to have a research on how effective a neighborhood watch program really is after its implementation. Developing an effective neighborhood watch program is crucial to ensure safer communities that will have happier citizens and an even happier mayor. The mayor of a small suburb of a large metropolitan area has recently implemented a neighborhood watch program and would like to have a few concerns researched to reveal how effective the program is for the community. This research study will explain why the most effective research design was selected for the research study of the small suburb’s neighborhood watch program. This material will discuss two criminological theories that support the neighborhood watch programs.
The mayor will have a better understanding of how the two criminological theories support the neighborhood watch program that was implemented. This research study will also develop a hypothesis and organize the concepts. After reading this research study material the mayor will know which research design is best to measure the effectiveness of the neighborhood watch program, and he will be better familiarized with the criminological theories that support the program. The mayor will then be offered a hypothesis and the operational plan.
In order to implement an operational plan specifically suited for a neighborhood, a research is imperative for the effectiveness of the neighborhood watch program because one design will work for a community and may not be
