This monograph explains 10 principles that managers of volunteer crime prevention programs can use to examine the vitality of their own community groups. |

|
| Abstract: |
The discussion emphasizes that each group should attempt to achieve a balance of the principles that are most effective for its needs. The first principle is that the group's goals and purposes should be understood and generally accepted by its members. The group should also experience periodic successes in its projects and activities, and group members should derive a sense of satisfaction from belonging and should represent a cross- section of residents whose support will be required. The group's seize should be determined by the size of the job to be accomplished; leaders should represent both member needs and community interests. The group should be flexible and adaptable to changing conditions. Good communication is essential and should be accomplished through telephone committees, written notices of meetings, and distribution of meeting minutes. Adequate funds, supplies, and equipment and comfortable meeting places and appropriate social amenities are also important. Checklists, and 5 references |
