Take Back Your Neighborhood: Organizing a Citizen's Patrol Force to Fight **

Richard Neely. Ballantine Books, $8 (224pp) ISBN 978-0-449-90628-6

Neely urges communities to organize volunteer crime patrols and make their neighborhoods their own safe domain. ``Impressive,'' said PW. ``In clear, trenchant prose, Neely shows why the police cannot cope with the rising lawlessness. . . . Ever practical, he even includes model documents needed by nonprofit crime-fighting corporations.'' Author tour. (July)
