WARNING TO CRIMINALS: Neighbourhood Watch signs alert criminals that residents are concerned about crime and will call the police when suspicious activity is observed. However, signs alone are of little deterrent value when not backed up by an active Neighbourhood Watch Programme.
PREVENTION OF CRIME: The establishment of a Neighbourhood Watch Programme in a low-crime area is added assurance it will remain safe. Crime is rarely stationary and often moves from one neighbourhood to another.
Although it would seem that the prevention of crime would be the first benefit we would cite, promoting neighbourliness and a sense of community is one of the major factors in the prevention of crime and the success of the Watch Programme.
