During the 1990's New York City was one of the most dangerous cities in the world, muggings stabbings and shootings were off the scale. So mayor Rudy Giuliani with police commissioner William Bratton cleaned the place up by implementing 'Broken Windows Theory', and it worked. The police concentrated on public disorder and petty crimes and crime went down. Broken Windows Theory has it's critics, I mean democrats aren't keen on law & order. But even democrats cant deny that it worked.
Street crime in Khans Londonistan has never been this bad. Has it peaked? I would have thought not. As long as some people consider it a right to walk into a shop and help themselves to anything and the police play down shoplifting theft and looting in order to 'ease community tensions', then street crime will obviously continue to blight Londonistan. What London needs is a strong mayor who is not a left wing racist and prepared to get a grip of low lifes who think they are above the law.

I recall being persuaded it might be an effective approach (I still think reduced 'tolerance' of petty crime has potential to discourage more serious issues), but everything I've read since the 90s has said it either didn't work at all or its successes were wildly over hyped. |

There have been determined efforts to defeat common sense on this issue. It almost looks like half of academia are being paid by criminals to run cover for them.

'Broken Windows' policing reduced the number of shootings, murders and other violent crimes in New York City, of that there is no doubt. Through the implementation of Broken Windows policing businesses were able to grow because they no longer feared having their money or goods stolen by delinquents. However, I accept the policy wasn't perfect and it certainly had it's critics. Broken windows policing, pros & cons - link |

Broken windows policing, pros & cons - linkFrom memory, the basis for saying that it didn't work was not that crime/homicide rates hadn't declined, but that similar rates of decline were seen across the USA where the authorities were not employing similar tactics (Broken Window Policing).
As I said, I think being too tolerant of minor offences can lead to much bigger problems.
