It can be something like that.
In a nearby community named Lincoln Heights there have been problems with drugs and crime. At one time a police station was actually attacked by explosives fired into the front door. Some of the churches got together and formed what they called the Nehemiah Project. Groups of people would walk the streets singing and praying. This was done to discourage open drug deals and prostitution. It was also done to show that there were people in the community who did not like criminals taking over their streets.
