What do you think the role of the community is in reducing crime? why do you think communities do not take proactive steps to limit crime and how could they be encouraged to do so?

1. I believe the role of community in reducing crime is not to actively catch the criminals, but through the act of helping those in need within their community.
When members of the community help each other, people wouldn't be in a situation where they struggle to find food.
This alone will dramatically reduce the number of crimes.

2. I believe it's because there is nobody that dare to say and ackonwledge their community has a problem because of the fear of being judged.
Somebody need to step up and openly say that members of community that conducted the criminal acts must be shamed and encourage those who don't to work together and develop their own economy.
