Instead of the community being a shelter from crimes and other forms of harm, the streets have become more dangerous for adults and children. Keeping the streets safe is a tough, yet achievable task that enjoins both civil society and the state.

Neighborhood watch
Setting up a community patrol and working with the police can help in
maintaining safety in communities. Let everyone know it’s their business to
keep the streets free of violence. Streets should be well-lighted. A
neighborhood watch is a good initiative to develop a partnership with the
police; instead of reacting to crises, citizens could participate in resolving
them.
Community e orts
Work with everyone in the community. This initiative requires all hands on
deck as safety should be each member’s concern. Partner with schools to
establish drug-free zones, and team up with recreation o cials to do the
same for parks. Provide teens in the neighborhood with activities such as
tutoring programs, recreation, part-time work, and volunteer opportunities,
instead of leaving them behind to fall into the hands of crime.
Family responsibility
Self and family safety should be the top priority. In keeping one’s home
safe from unwelcomed individuals, acquiring a weapon can be an option.
But while there are many families that keep weapons in their homes, these
are most likely to hurt family members than criminals. Think long and hard
about this.
It would be best to talk to the kids in the family about violence and instill in
them that it isn’t approved at home or anywhere as a means to solve
problems.
