Believe it or not, education is the best way. I was a part of a "neighborhood watch" program. This is where Police come into a neighborhood and train the citizens what to watch for (in the way of crime reporting). It's much easier for a group to stand up together against something, rather than an individual.
I would teach people safety lessons, how to contact the Police and all sorts of other things. After the group is trained and everyone "signed up" to participate, then I would go back each month to see how things are going, keep the members updated as to crimes in their area and tell about arrests that had been made by the Police and those that were made due to the groups involvement. We would place a Neighborhood Watch sign to let everyone know that the area works with the Police and will call. People used to ask me "Do those signs really help." My answer was usually, "They can't hurt." Then I arrested a guy for burglary and was able to get a confession. He took us around to show us places that he had burglarized. He would show us a house and then go to the next. He skipped around and so I asked him, "why didn't you hit the other areas." He told me "Because I saw the Neighborhood Watch signs in the other areas. It may not mean much, but it told me people are watching and would call the Police. Why take the chance - the risk is too high, when I can go into another area and no one calls the Police." Made me realize that being a part of a group that WILL call the Police and work with them can really make a difference.
I was the contact Officer for the group and by knowing me personally, the group felt that they could call me about anything (which they could - even problems with another Officer) and know that I would handle the situation. This give and take trust put power in the groups hands and word got out to the theives and thugs to STAY AWAY. It works!
