The article start with talking about how something in the past have proven to bring down crime and make things safer, but it also addresses the problems of how somethings that helped another neighborhood may not be able to help another. The authors wrote this to help in identifying problems in a community and to help stop them, for people who protect neighborhoods and for neighborhoods to protect themselves.
