What can ordinary people do to help in the fight against crime?

In my opinion,I think that Crime and the fear of crime in a community is, of course, a real and prevalent problem in today's society. But that does not mean that there is nothing ordinary people can do to prevent it. No sensible person would advocate vigilante-ism but there are many steps people can take to prevent crime in their community. for example neighbourhood watch schemes,take responsibility and don't be afraid.

After all prevention is far better than cure, and never more so than in these circumstances. So, if people turn their minds to crime and the fear of crime they may wonder how you can help prevent crime in your community.
Call the Police when they see someone break the law. Give a good description of the bad guys and direction of travel.

If you want to protect yourself then yes get a concealed carry permit and carry a gun. However, that is not going to help the Police catch criminals. That will just help you not be a victim.
All that is necessary for the triumph of evil is that good men do nothing.
Get a conceal carry permit. Watch your surroundings closely. If you see anything suspicious call the police. Start a block watch or recruit many people to walk the neighborhood so you can keep an eye out for any crime in progress. Some people actually set traps for thieves.

the best solution is to raise children to be law abiding and to be honest people
very hard thing to do but back to the basic do unto others what you would like them to do to you.

Helen Ryan,

Dear Elizabeth,

I apologize for haven’t written , but I've been staying in Rancagua very busy for this time. I'm here because I helped our grandfather getting ready for the rodeo.As you know, Every September in Rancagua to commemorate the fiestas patrias when on September 18th 1818 was the independence of our country.every place and people from around got change.It's very exiting for me because there are a lot of people that I don't know. however I think this is the best time to the remember 10 years ago when we were a litle girls that is very lovely. But always in Rancagua I feel like that a baby girl because our grandfather is the best man,he is nice,I love him. Our grandmother is a tired but she always ready to celebrate the fiestas patrias with me,She remember you all time! and during celebration of the best rodeo from Rancagua I can saw to Lissette monge. Do you remember her? she is married and she has two boys,she is curly blong hair and she is 27 years old. She live between the old and short blue church and Jorge's house that it's the same place that years ago.Our grandmother prepare for lunch that typical Chilean food and lost fun activities that 10 years ago.
Come back here again it was a success I feel very exciting.Our grandfather sold more than 500 tickets for the rodeo and Our grandmother sold 400 empanadas. That makes my feel very thankful, because I had the opportunity of the lived that experience, As you can imagine, I earned a lot of money. With my money the day of the rodeo, I could have fun with the activities. I went horse riding and our grandmother even got nominated for the empanada’s Queen Beauty pageant. The organizer made up for it by providing some excellent food. The empanadas and anticuchos were delicious and the wine certainly kept everyone smiling.
I enjoyed every day. I got the chance to meet a lot of new people and I even came back with you for the next year.
I whished you'd been here, I miss you my best cousin
Well, that’s all from me.
Let me know what you’ve been doing recently.
