A criminological theory known as the broken window theory is something that interests me a lot. I first learned of this theory through my required school reading of “Freakonomics” by Steven D Levitt and Stephen J Dubner. The theory was being used to support the argument that the broken windows theory was responsible for New York’s 1990’s crime drop.
