Topic/content dissonance
[edit]Neighbourhood watches have little or nothing to do with community policing, yet community policing redirects to this article. Community policing refers to boots on the ground, preferably the same boots on the same ground in an ongoing fashion that allows cops to get to know given areas and the people who reside, work, and transact commerce within them. This is contrasted with officers who patrol in vehicles, who can cover bigger areas and respond to incidents faster, at the cost of being distanced from the population and having commensurately less time to observe their surroundings at speed. It also denotes the different approaches used with citizens, more often stopping to chat and otherwise pursuing contacts and relationships that may appear at first glance to "waste time", but raise mutual esteem and better the rapport between the public and the police.
It's said that the police are the public and the public are the police and, broadly speaking, this is true. The public need the police to serve them by investigating crime, arresting criminals, and defending them. The police need the public to serve them by keeping them informed and aware. It is a two-way street. If your local police department has a community policing liaison officer (or more than one), give them a shout. 24.69.174.7 (talk) 05:48, 16 July 2012 (UTC)
- So, should Community policing redirect to Beat (police)? Richard-of-Earth (talk) 18:39, 16 July 2012 (UTC)
Over represented viewpoint and under represented viewpoint
[edit]The town watch section, while similar to neighborhood watches do not need a separate section. Perhaps a wiki link would suffice, which can be stated in a single sentence. The organization and history of neighborhood watch is rooted from the fact of militarization in the United States.
Citizens desire home security and a place between themselves and public space-- hence the organization of neighborhood watch and gated communities.Mkihiro (talk) 05:18, 15 April 2017 (UTC)
Links/Reference Information
[edit]The paragraph discussing Eliyahu Werdesheim's relationship to Neighborhood Watches is limited on reliable sources. Some of the links no longer work, such as number 10. More information about how incidents like this have had an impact on Neighborhood Watches might be helpful.
The article is neutral and focuses mainly on facts of certain incidents that have occurred. However, the article seems to cover mostly only the negative attention that Neighborhood Watches have received. It might help to elaborate on the reason why the concept of a Neighborhood Watch began in the first place and more positive aspects of it, as well.Mlopez96 (talk) 23:39, 16 April 2017 (UTC)
