Why do adults need to help neighbors work together?"Author, Stephanie Mann, volunteered in her unincorporated community (no elected leaders or police department) with 17,500 residents because the community had a crime wave. The majority of crime problems were neighborhood kids. A committee of ten volunteers got local publicity, educated neighbors to take responsibility for neighborhood safety and reduced crime 48% within two and half years without a local police department. (Documented) With the help of Governor Reagan's wife, Nancy Reagan, Mann, co-authored "Alternative to Fear: Guidelines for Safer Neighborhoods," which helped launch the national Neighborhood Watch Program. However, we called our program, the Neighborhood Responsibility Program."
