- The English language is rich in sayings and proverbs such as ‘there’s no place like home’ that show just how important living in a nice, friendly, and save place is to people. Unfortunately, not all neighbourhoods are so pleasant and peaceful, and people often have to take security measures to protect their home and family against crime. In the UK, a citizens’ movement, started in the nineteen-eighties, watches over and protects neighbourhoods throughout the country
- Neighbourhood Watch is the UK’s largest voluntary organisation. Its objective is to prevent crime and make sure that no one has to feel afraid, vulnerable, or isolated in the community in which they live. It’s primarily about keeping an eye on what’s going on in the neighbourhood and watching out for you and your neighbours’ safety and property. But it also tries to improve the quality of life in the community and can involve other activities such as caring for elders and environmental work.
- Groups are organised by the people of the local community and each group decides on their own actions. However, they always work closely with the police, who provide advice and direct help when necessary. In some communities, people come together to prevent burglaries. With the help of a local blacksmith, they make all the homes in the neighbourhood more secure by installing better locks and alarm systems. In other neighbourhoods, people fight vandalism and other antisocial behaviour by providing young people with alternative activities.
- Since 1995, the Neighbourhood Watch Association has run the annual Neighbourhood Watch Awards. The awards give the millions of participants the opportunity to publicise their successes and celebrate the role that their organisation plays in keeping their community safe.
