*********************** ARTICLE START ***********************
Did you know that a burglary happens every 15 seconds somewhere in the United States? No matter where you live, your home is not immune to crime. Every household should have security alarms, outdoor lighting, and other basic security features. However, there are some areas where security measures are even more important.

It is an unfortunate reality that some neighborhoods are looked at as �high-crime areas.� This very idea often leads to more crime, as criminals are drawn in by this designation. If you are living in an area that you don't consider to be 100% safe, you should be particularly proactive about your home security measures.

In addition to particular neighborhoods or areas of nearly every large city in the world, some entire cities are known to have high crime rates. Homeowners in the cities of Memphis, Baltimore, Miami, and Detroit should be particularly cautious, as each year these cities remain high on the Forbes list of �Top Ten Most Dangerous Cities in the U.S.� While home security should be at the front of your mind no matter where your family lives, it is especially important to be vigilant about home security if you live in one of these cities.

Crime rates around the country are on the rise. In many cases, crime rates are tied to the economy; in the current recession, it's no surprise that crime rates are rising. Personal and property crimes are rising in many cities. Even if you have not lost your job or otherwise been personally impacted by the recession, you can be affected by rising crime rates as a result of the economy. Unfortunately, more and more neighborhoods across the country seem to be falling into the designation of �high crime areas,� making it more important now than ever to protect the security of your home and your family.

What can you do if this is your family's reality? Even if you live in a high-crime area, you can choose to fight back and to gain control of your community. Do something today to make your area safer for the next generation, not to mention your own family. Start a Neighborhood Watch program. This system has been proven effective for lowering crime rates in residential neighborhoods. It is a commitment between neighbors to keep an eye on those coming and going, and to report suspicious or criminal behavior to the police.

When the recession causes increased crime rates, many of these additional crimes are property crimes. If you're worried about such crimes, take steps to protect your belongings. Don't leave your car unlocked or your valuables in plain sight, either in your car or in your home. At home, store small valuables in disguised safes so that they won't be taken if you do fall victim to a burglary. Don't walk around at night with expensive jewelry, clothing, or electronics. In short, be aware of what you're advertising about your possessions.

Within your own home, always follow appropriate security precautions. Lock all doors and windows, and secure them with home alarms. These are some of the most effective ways to keep burglars out without having to resort to metal bars across the windows. For high-crime areas, consider additional home security features such as motion-detecting alarms, as well as personal protection devices such as pepper spray or a stun gun.
