I think that's one of the objectives of this trial.
My neighborhood has a watch and most of us are very active. Some of the men DO chase away thugs trying to break into garages. This morning two AA women were arguing loudly while “negotiating” . One in the auto driver’s seat and the other packing bags in the trunk. The driver was very loud and seemed to be badgering the other. When one walked back to the apartment, the other followed talking loudly. A neighbor said to them, “Now, now, stop it”. For the most part they got a bit quieter. Took another half hour before they left.
