message: OK, the Australian Neighbourhood Watch is credited with the arrest of two French agents involved in the Sinking of the Rainbow Warrior which is a notable event (also indicating NW has been active in Australia for at least three decades) but the only mention of Australian NW is a caption to a photo (photos being ephemeral)? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Naaman Brown (talk • contribs) 10:43, April 9, 2010

replies: text: In the article, it states correctly that Zimmerman was under investigation by the FBI for possible hate crime charges.  However, the FBI concluded their investigation and dropped its charges.  There are several sources that corroborate this, but I am wary of editing the page and adding in sources since they aren't mainstream media outlets.  Even though Zimmerman was cleared of any hate crime charges, I fear another editor would dispute the source alone; the only media outlets I can find covering that fact are CS Monitor (http://www.csmonitor.com/USA/Justice/2012/0712/FBI-report-No-evidence-George-Zimmerman-is-racist), Examiner (which has obvious problems), and a few websites that many might not consider "legitimate."  I am also wary of making any changes on my own due to the extremely controversial nature of the case. Jennifer Lost the War (talk) 10:16, 29 April 2014 (UTC)

thread_title:  Merge from [[Town watch]] 

message: Neighbourhood watches have little or nothing to do with community policing, yet community policing redirects to this article. Community policing refers to boots on the ground, preferably the same boots on the same ground in an ongoing fashion that allows cops to get to know given areas and the people who reside, work, and transact commerce within them. This is contrasted with officers who patrol in vehicles, who can cover bigger areas and respond to incidents faster, at the cost of being distanced from the population and having commensurately less time to observe their surroundings at speed. It also denotes the different approaches used with citizens, more often stopping to chat and otherwise pursuing contacts and relationships that may appear at first glance to "waste time", but raise mutual esteem and better the rapport between the public and the police.
It's said that the police are the public and the public are the police and, broadly speaking, this is true. The public need the police to serve them by investigating crime, arresting criminals, and defending them. The police need the public to serve them by keeping them informed and aware. It is a two-way street. If your local police department has a community policing liaison officer (or more than one), give them a shout. 24.69.174.7 (talk) 05:48, 16 July 2012 (UTC)

thread_title:  Topic/content dissonance 

message: The town watch section, while similar to neighborhood watches do not need a separate section. Perhaps a wiki link would suffice, which can be stated in a single sentence. The organization and history of neighborhood watch is rooted from the fact of militarization in the United States.
  Citizens desire home security and a place between themselves and public space-- hence the organization of neighborhood watch and gated communities.Mkihiro (talk) 05:18, 15 April 2017 (UTC)
thread_title:  Over represented viewpoint and under represented viewpoint 

message: The paragraph discussing Eliyahu Werdesheim's relationship to Neighborhood Watches is limited on reliable sources. Some of the links no longer work, such as number 10. More information about how incidents like this have had an impact on Neighborhood Watches might be helpful.
The article is neutral and focuses mainly on facts of certain incidents that have occurred. However, the article seems to cover mostly only the negative attention that Neighborhood Watches have received. It might help to elaborate on the reason why the concept of a Neighborhood Watch began in the first place and more positive aspects of it, as well.Mlopez96 (talk) 23:39, 16 April 2017 (UTC)
