Hi All,
When last we spoke, I was a bit confused as to where my research was leading me. Â Thankfully, my work with my group last week really helped me to figure out my topic. I will be arguing that the reason Broken Windows is used in cities despite rebuttals of its efficacy by experts is not to deter crime. Rather, it’s to change the perception of crime, especially in larger cities where economic stability is directly linked to wealthy residents and businesses.
Right now I am exploring the economic effects of broken windows, and hope to find more data this week. Be safe everyone; right now, I am without power. I hope you all fare better through this storm.

Celeste –
I am very impressed that you found a way to post this without power. I hope things are better now. I really like your new argument – very sophisticated and bravo to your group for helping you with it!
