Extractions: The Broken Windows Theory The Broken Windows Theory suggests that public disorder and crime are inextricably linked. It talks about getting tough on minor offences to prevent major crimes. The theory is an analogy used by Kelling and Coles to illustrate how disorder leads to more disordered behaviour and serious crime. The arguments being made is that " if a window in a building is broken and is left unrepaired, all the rest of the windows will soon be broken ... one unrepaired window is a signal that no one cares, and so breaking more windows costs nothing. " The theory of broken windows acknowledges the relationship between crime and disorder. It illustrates how neighbourhoods might decay into disorder and even crime if no one attends to their maintenance. When disordered behaviour is ignored, it indicates that no one cares. This creates fear within the community and attracts predators who thrive in conditions of public apathy and neglect. The book outlines steps that communities may take against the deviance of some of its members.

Site Map Second Patrol Division Crime Prevention/Decentralization Realized through command and constituency support, the city has taken a decentralized approach in order to reduce the elements of crime and assemble the support of unstable communities. Likewise, the Second Patrol Division has taken on a similar concept. Problems of disruption in communities are capable of more responsible resolution than routine reactive patrol. The proper resolution, we suggest, lies in weighing the autonomy of special teams as a factor in the balance when interpreting the means by which officers regulates matters affecting the quality of neighborhoods.
