National
Night Out Against Crime is held annually on the first Tuesday in
August. The National Association of Town Watch created the event in 1984.
In the 1970s, as part of the Women's Liberation Movement,
women engaged in their own non-governmental, grass-roots efforts,
called "Take Back the Night," with the goal of protesting and deterring
violence against women through their visible presence outdoors.
National Night Out is an annual community-building campaign that promotes police-community partnerships and neighborhood camaraderie to make our neighborhoods safer, more caring places to live.
