The group formed by the concerned people in the neighborhood, who call and send letters to the mayor's office to demand increased police presence and curfew is an example of an interest group. Interest groups are organized groups of individuals who share a common interest or goal and seek to influence public policy or decision-making. In this case, the interest group is formed to address the issue of vandalism and theft in their neighborhood and to advocate for measures to prevent it. The group is not hierarchical, concessions, or political in nature.
