Broken Window Theory:
Posted on August 28, 2012 by James Toliver, One of Thousands of Entrepreneurship Coaches on Noomii.
An Ideology concept, to curtail crime:
The broken window theory is a criminological and sociologists theory of ways to change urban disorder and vandalism. This theory is based on maintaining and monitoring urban environment. James Q Wilson and George L. Keeling introduces the theory in 1982.
This concept is for a partial elimination of crime. The belief is that window in a given neighborhood are not repaired, in some way this may lead to vandal, (squatters) a person who occupies property without title, right, or payment of rent.),more @ http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Homelessness_in_the_United_States
These squatters are view as possible vandals, petty criminals of low level anti social behavior. The theory is an attempt to eliminate society perception of a pre-judge situation of the norms of that society preconception.
Neighborhoods that are declared blighted and scheduled for demolition are destroyed for redevelopment and gratification throughout this country. With this process of redevelopment, it is the primary effective and reason to and for increase taxes.
The increase of municipal and state taxes put a burden on the landlord who passed the expense own to the tenant, low-income working families, the elderly poor, the disabled are victimized.
in most cases the tenant salary has not increased therefore creating a burden. This in turn caused them to relocate to other areas. A lot of this redevelopment and gratification comes in light after the riots of the 60s where a greater majority of persons, head to the suburbs in order to avoid the violence and basically miss understanding of with the masses wanted. These wanted was primary for the betterment of certain right of the society not shared with others. Each city has its wall of problem solving there technique, a variety of techniques are used to combat specific problems for specific areas. As an example, the flight of some people from Chicago during and after the riots, there flight caused them to relinquish important strategic property location. The broken window theory was instrumental in the recovery of choice property locations.
The broken window is a theory system to regain property loss. If we examine the technique used in New York city, especially with the stop and first law. My understanding of this law is that any infraction or violation of any city, state or federal laws gives the police officer the right to question your purposes; And if that answerer do not satisfy a reasonable and proper response if it is a negative response, this allows and warrant a frisk of that person or groups, for the officer protection.
Another contributing factor can be , while a large segment of minorities languish in our prison system, some rightly and wrongly imprisoned. It has been highly publicized that person in prison have use drug and alcoholic or have a history of mental illness. Computer background check eliminate and gauge employment opportunity.
According to the Institution of Housing in 2005, the U.S. Government has focused 42% more on foreign countries rather than homeless Americans, including homeless veterans.
People who are hiding in order to evade law enforcement.
Let me know your though concerning this matter, more to follow.
