CNN reports on the value of neighborhood watch groups:

Martin Floss, a professor and director of the Institute for Law and Justice at Hilbert College in Hamburg, New York, said that for the past 15 years, crime rates across the board have dropped to historically low levels.

Floss, a former crime prevention coordinator for a neighborhood in Buffalo, New York, said that as the economy worsens, property crimes tend to increase.

Well-trained neighborhood watch groups can be great assets to local law enforcement, Floss said. "If you can get them to organize, to look out for each other and to work closely with the police, that is only going to do good things," he said.

The story also offers something to for Eastsiders to keep in mind as warmer weather arrives:
