Describe how the Broken Windows Theory explains the onset of criminal activity
What will be an ideal response?
As minor violations of law such as prostitution and level drug dealing appear on the streets, the quality-of-life in a community begins to decline. Coupled with increased physical deterioration of businesses and housing, citizens soon perceive their run down neighborhood as unsafe. Thus the term "broken windows" is developed. Moreover, citizens begin to fear crime and curtail their everyday activities. As community stability declines, this in turn provides a fertile ground to attract potential criminal offenders from other neighborhoods.
