It is citizen involvement that drives crime rates down and keeps them down.

That is correct.... And Julianno had the right idea with his ‘broken window policy’.
Back when I was doing a lot of pickups and deliveries, if I had a call to say an apartment complex and the lawns were unkempt, wrecked and seemingly abandoned cars in the lots and - if a holiday - NO decorations of any kind, I would just call the ‘customer’ and tell them to meet me at the entrance.
AND I did NOT even take the time to ‘check out the complexion’ of the neighborhood - it didn’t/doesn’t matter.
We did have a ‘clause’ (sort of a CYA for us) that if the phone # you gave was bogus or not answered you ‘broke the contract’.
I ‘broke the rules’ and always was packing but that was more for my own ‘self assurance’ than anything else.
