Crime prevention as each citizen’s duty is not a new idea. In the early days of law enforcement, well over a thousand years ago, the peace keeping system encouraged the concept of mutual responsibility. Each individual was responsible not only for his actions but for those of his neighbors. A citizen observing a crime had the duty to rouse his neighbors and pursue the criminal. Peace was kept, for the most part, not by officials, but by the whole community.
