Fixing Broken Windows: Restoring Order and Reducing Crime in Our CommunitiesMartin Kessler Books, 1996 - 319 páginas This book discusses the relationship between public disorder and serious crime. It argues that controlling disorderly behaviour in public spaces creates an environment where serious crime cannot flourish, but ordinary life and business can. It describes the application of the get-tough approach in a number of locations, including the New York subway system, where arresting fare-beaters led to a significant drop in serious crime. The broken windows approach forges police-citizen partnerships to reinforce community standards and combat crime and criminals. |
