Delaware business owners can do more to fight vandalism with these measures.
Neighborhood Watch
One Department of Justice report on business and community development explains how vandalism spreads. It says that criminals see small amounts of vandalism as a “signal that a neighborhood is uncared for.” This “creates the perception that these places are left available for criminal activities” — so they target these neighborhoods again and again, perpetuating the cycle of destruction. It’s tragic, and you can protect your business and community from it by joining or forming a neighborhood watch with the other businesses on your block. Five decades after law enforcement first developed the neighborhood watch model, it still works in communities across the country.
By acting as allies, you and your neighbors can send a clear message to criminals that vandalism will not be tolerated.
