LEADS TO
Broken Window Theory
• It is the effect of Lack of organization and Dirty places on Social Behavior;
• Root Causes Matters;
• Opportunity and Vulnerability of Crime;
• Individuals will begin to commit crime such as Panhandling, Prostitution and Drug dealing.
• These Crime will become part of the regular activities taking place in the abandoned building and will then spread out into the Neighborhood.
• Create more problems for the whole Neighborhood and the Society, due to less involvement of Community.
How it Can be Halted ?
• “Fix the Broken Windows”;
• Attack the initial factor of the Casual Chain:-
Disorder caused by disreputable people
Breakdown in Informal control.
Invasion of Predatory Criminal.
High Crime Rate in the Neighborhood.
CONCLUSIONLittle things matter - Take care of
little things and the Big things will take care of themselves.
"If a window is broken and left unrepaired, people walking by will conclude that no one cares and no one is in charge."
Carelessness implies Vulnerability.
Any Query, Please ?
