WEST PALM BEACH,FL--It's been almost two years since that heinous crime. Immediately after, the public outcry for change at Dunbar Village began.
Dunbar Village is quiet these days. It makes one woman proud to say, "I'm Leslie Christian and I'm a resident of Dunbar Village."
She remembers when it was different. "It was like chaotic. It was like everybody was on panic mode. It was scary."
It's been almost two years since a mother and son were gang-raped in their apartment. The crime attracted national attention. Reverand Al Sharpton even took a tour.
"Now it's quiet, it's calm."
There are no longer rowdy crowds hanging out in the streets. Private security often patrols the walkways. For the past year and half, Officer Williams has made "knowing" the people of Dunbar his priority.
"I would say drastic change," said Williams. Instead of five calls on a shift, he gets three a week. He says those calls are now for loud music or domestic disturbances.
Several people we spoke to say the biggest change is what you can't see --the attitude.
The housing authority, which runs Dunbar, says there is now an active resident council. They say the involvement has helped form a community.
"As of now don't have a lot of problems, now a lot of cooperating," Leslie shares. The only improvement she can think of is better lighting.
"Today I don't live in the infamous Dunbar, I live in the historical Dunbar." For her, the changes mean home is in Dunbar.
