Possible Solutions to

Decrease Crime in Hawaii

By: Kim Russell Comenta

For every 100,000 people, there are 9.34 daily crimes

that occur in Honolulu

In Honolulu you

have a 1 in 30

chance of

becoming a victim

of any crime

I’ve tried to look for other ways people have tried to prevent crimes in Hawaii

Seattle have established a program called Block Watch – A program based on the principle that neighbors working together are the first and best line of defense against crime.

Community watch is undoubtedly one of the

oldest and most well known crime prevention programs in

history

This Program Requires Two Commitments:

First: A commitment to be concerned about your neighbor’s property and well being as well as your own.

Second: A commitment to report suspicious activity and take action by alerting your neighbors and calling 9-1-1

Neighborhood or community

watch programs often go by

a various names and include

both nationally recognized

and small-town organizations

The funding of community watch

programs is nearly always a joint

venture between the local police

department and the program

members through their fund-

raising activities.

In the US, block watches are

usually run by a block captain

who is responsible to a block

coordinator or block organizer

According to a study done by The

Crime Prevention Research

Review, Nearly all findings

concluded that all areas

associated with a neighborhood

watch pointed to lower levels of

crime in the area.

My Own Solution to

Lower The Crime

Rate in Hawaii

Organize Campaigns like “Block

Watch” to Encourage

Community Members to

Participate in Preventing Crime

in their Place.

Talk to Local Leaders of the

community and Present a plan

and result on how a “Block

Watch” program would be of

Benefit to their community.
