Neighborhood Watch is one of the oldest and best-known crime  prevention concepts in North America. Despite its increase in prominence as a  tool to combat terrorism after 9/11, neighborhood watches can provide one of the  most effective tools for the prevention of the types of crimes that occur in  mixed commercial and residential neighborhoods such as Dupont.
