Hello All!
First, I’d like to say that our library research session wasincredibly helpful. I have found that searching for alternate terms to broken windows theory, such as the link between graffiti and crime, has yielded a lot more results, especially sociological analyses. Perhaps we could schedule another research class later in the semester?
I believe I may need to get most of my pro-broken windows data from books, as current scholarly articles tend to be less than enthusiastic about its implications. I’ve recently acquired a book from one of the original theorists about broken windows, George Kelling, titled “Fixing broken windows : restoring order and reducing crime in our communities.” Although I do hope to find other authors, this should be great for providing background info.
Happy Hunting to All!
