Imagine if a group of people peacefully visited a home where there is regular violence and just refused to leave, for days, until a positive step was taken. Eg, an abusive man left the home and the locks were changed, or an abused woman was able to safely find a place at a women's shelter.
Or what if the location was a drug dealer's house or a brothel where trafficked women were being held? What are they going to do? Call the cops?!
Maybe useful in situations where multiple police visits have not been effective. Extra additions could be conflict resolution training or video cameras. Need to bring own food and sleeping gear and strict non-violent principles.

Reward: A reduction of violence through voluntary community-based intervention.
