In the United Kingdom, Neighbourhood Watch is a community-led crime prevention initiative that encourages residents to keep an eye out for suspicious activity and report it to the police. Participants receive training on how to identify potential crime-related incidents and how to report them effectively. This initiative has been shown to reduce crime and increase community cohesion. One recent example of the effectiveness of Neighbourhood Watch was caught on CCTV in a small town in Yorkshire. The footage showed a group of masked individuals attempting to break into a house. Thanks to the vigilance of the Neighbourhood Watch members, the police were alerted and the suspects were apprehended before they could cause any damage.
