Neighborhood watch - Neighborhood watch

Why you have chosen this article to evaluate?
I really enjoyed reading about the history of using a neighborhood watch strategy. It is important because law enforcement can sometimes be more harmful to marginalized communities and this allows their own community to provide protection. Before reading this, I wouldn't have known it how it started or as to why.

Evaluate the article
First, I saw that it needs a citation when talking about various points like how neighborhood watches got their start in Colonial America. Citations are important in order to stay away from plagiarism as well as to be able to check that the source they used was reliable. I thought the organization was done well and that the information provided is helpful. I think it could help to add more information to the section titled "Organization" in order to understand the purpose of neighborhood watches. I also thought the tone of the "Controversies" was good as the author does not write it with a bias or opinion.
