Safer communities are built through the participation of citizens. Citizens thus become key initiators in providing a safer environment by uniting in addressing concerns, one of which mostly appears to be crime. This way, by getting involved in crime prevention measures, the citizens also create a sense of communal responsibility and group efforts which in such ways would minimize the emergence of criminal activities.
