Scenario 5- Your neighborhood has always been very safe. Recently, however, there have been a number of break-ins during the daytime and three cars have been stolen from driveways. You and five neighbors met a week ago to discuss possible ways to make the neighborhood safe again. You have agreed to survey residents of the area to determine their interest in forming and being part of a neighborhood watch.
