In New York, one result should be guaranteed no matter the corrective path taken: the end, finally, of “broken windows” policing. Although usually billed as the broken windows theory, it is in fact the extrapolation of a nine-page article published in The Atlantic almost 40 years ago. Yet its tentacles reach into most American police forces.”
