警方和学者指出，成功打击犯罪需要警察和居民“共同创造”公共安全。然而，居民往往不愿意参与治安活动，甚至不愿意举报他们目睹的犯罪行为。鼓励居民参与犯罪控制活动的一种可能方法是通过邻里组织。这项研究针对南卡罗来纳州西部 42 个社区的 1,313 名居民进行，调查社区组织的参与是否会增加协助警方控制犯罪的可能性。结果表明，即使在控制了社会凝聚力、对警察合法性的看法、各种警务策略、对犯罪的恐惧和人口因素之后，组织参与者也比非参与者更有可能协助警察。
Police and scholars note that successful crime fighting requires police and residents to “co-produce” public safety. However, residents are often reluctant to get involved in policing initiatives or even report crimes they witness. One possible means of stimulating resident involvement in crime-control activities is through neighborhood organizations. This research, conducted on 1,313 residents of 42 neighborhoods in western South Carolina, investigates whether neighborhood organization participation increases the likelihood of assisting police in crime-control efforts. Results indicate that organization participants are more likely to assist police than are nonparticipants, even after controlling for social cohesion, perceptions of police legitimacy, various policing strategies, fear of crime, and demographic factors.
