@DeanPreston fixing the problem? Nope, just having the gov't pay for the property crimes with tax $$.3 replies 4 retweets 27 likes -
As much as I don’t agree with chesa and dean Preston, the broken window policing being responsible for the dramatic decrease in crime is a myth. This is a great book. A little outdated in terms of methods used thohttps://www.amazon.com/City-That-Became-Safe-Lessons/dp/0199324166/ref=nodl_ …
