Internet Safety

Internet Safety is the new Neighborhood Watch. Near the end of the 1960s, crime rates rose in many neighborhoods across the United States. The National Sheriff’s Association created the National Neighborhood Watch Program in 1972 to involve citizens in protecting their neighborhoods (NNW, n.d., para 2). The Neighborhood Watch has since become part of our culture. As the internet grew, so too did its potential for harming groups and individuals. Internet groupings are our modern neighborhoods. How do we keep them safe?
