[edit] PLEASE FIX
A) For heaven's sake DO NOT CITE FREAKANOMICS! Ever. That book is controversial AT BEST!
B) If you want to suggest that the "broken Windows" policy is ATTRIBUTED to NYC reduction in crime, fine, but it it most certainly NOT a foregone conclusion. See "Sense and Nonsense in Crime and Drug Policy," by Samuel Walker; oh, and by the way, see Wikipedia's own article on the "broken windows" theory of crime prevention.
If I had my way, all supportive references to the "broken windows" theory would be stricken as illogical and against the weight of empirical evidence, which is why I am not doing it myself. Someone objective, PLEASE, look into this matter, come to your own considered judgment, and fix this article. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.225.188.210 (talk) 06:50, 7 December 2007 (UTC)
