''Neighbourhood Support'' is a term used, predominantly in New Zealand, to refer to schemes similar in intent to "Neighbourhood Watch", with some additional objectives. Neighbourhood Support is a community owned programme that is promoted as making homes, streets, neighbourhoods and communities safer and more caring places in which to live.〔(What is Neighbourhood Support? ), NZ Police website, 23 September 2007〕 Neighbourhood Support works closely with the Police and a number of other organisations,〔(Annual Report for the year ended 30 June 2006 ), NZ Police Website〕 to reduce crime and to prepare people to deal with emergencies and natural disasters in their community. ==History== Neighbourhood Watch was introduced to New Zealand as a crime prevention initiative in the late 1970s. The initiative evolved to become Neighbourhood Support New Zealand, a community owned and managed organisation with a wide-ranging interest in crime prevention and community safety. Neighbourhood Support became an Incorporated Society in 2000.〔Certificate of Incorporation, Neighbourhood Support New Zealand Society Incorporated 2000, Incorporated Societies Register, Companies Office, New Zealand〕 In 2001 it signed a Memorandum of Understanding with the New Zealand Police. The purpose of the Memorandum of Understanding is to establish and promote a collaborative working relationship between Neighbourhood Support New Zealand Incorporated and the Police. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Neighbourhood Support」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
