In Slavic Village, Cleveland Jim Rokakis, a Cuyohoga County Treasurer felt that after 800 homes been foreclosure crime seem to have rise. It seems to be that squatters and looters start to move into the empty homes. Mark Wiseman who’s the director of Cuyohogan County Foreclosure Prevention Program said that “It takes about 72 hours for a house to be looted after it is vacant.” Then they would leave trash covering the yard. Home’s being foreclosure attracts gang members. Joe Krasucki who’s 78 died the next day after being badly beaten, he was outside noticing gang members stripping aluminum sidings making the homes nearly worthless, take doors, moldings, appliance, pulling the piping out with a sledge hammer. Putting the homes back together takes lots of money, not worth it for buyers to purchase and leaving homes vacant for more crimes to occur.
Sheriff Ted Mink runs into the same problem. He has a problem with foreclosure home being left unattended for months. His community crime rate has also rise. Homes that are left for no one to watch is asking for unwanted people into the community. There has been reported incident where homeless person or runaways use the empty home as shelter. There are also times when they attempt to rig wiring to get power to the house. This is dangerous because the house could easily caught on fire or worst is Sheriff was reported meth labs, and vandalism.
Ms. Daniel a banker in DeSoto and others says that “the neighborhood suffers from increased in burglaries and a decline in community spirit and unity.” This is all due to foreclosures. The community notices that if something is not glued down, squatters and looters are taking it.
There’s been reported incident of burglaries breaking into houses, steal appliance, furnaces and air conditioner out of yards to resale and make money for themselves.
The most effective and least costly ways to prevent crime and reduce fear is starting a neighborhood watch program. It can reduce burglaries and robberies. Members not only learn how to secure their homes but watch out for each others homes by reporting activities that raise their suspicions to the police and sheriffs.
Neighborhood watch programs are for incident to be reported immediately. There are not enough police and sheriff to patrol all corners of the street. This is when neighborhood watch program comes in handy.

On my days off I enjoy going to the dog park and sleep. I am the only girl in the family so most people think that I am spoiled, but little do they know I work hard to get what I want and none of it is purchased by my parents. That being said, I have an older brother who is a youth pastor and a little brother who's also a college student like me.

Totally cool subject matter and it is something that I have witnessed first hand! (Fortunately I wasn't beaten)
Aside from a few words missing (like side paneling) I enjoyed the read.
I would change green font on a black background as that is an eye-sore! :)
YES the first few sentences attract my interest.
YES, the subject is clearly defined in the introduction.
NO the introduction is not too long.
Not sure on audience.
ABSOLUTELY I want to know more and to keep reading! Add some more beating stories, robbery stories or perhaps what they do with the stolen materials...
YES the problem is clearly explained.
YES (g0 back to my suggestion for additional material)
YES the subject matter continues to interest me.
YES, the argument is convincing.
YUP.
NOPE.
CLEARLY.
TOO WELL (too brief)
I AM disposed to the writer because I can tell by the writing that is her personal opinion supported by facts.
Most graceful!
I thought it was very interesting, I didn't get bored reading it. A few grammer mistakes I noticed. Overall good job, I think :)

It is interesting. If you could add something about Washington or maybe compare the vandalism crimes, this would engage me more. I like how you talk about the "they say" argument, but where is the "I say?" What do you think about this? How can you relate to this topic? In the second paragraph you talk about a banker in DeSoto and "others." Who are the "others?" Overall, good!
So there are a lot of missing helper words here. Be sure to read aloud -- or have someone read it to you -- so that you can catch those moments.
Your voice is not predominant here. Where are the topic sentences that are your voice and that control the content of each paragraph? At this point, you are overly reliant on quoted material as opposed to how you're using sources to support your position/ voice/ argument.
