I'll add my point of view following up on the "Broken Window Theory" followed by Mayor Guiliani.
While I didn't like the tactics of implementing it. It did a wonderful job of cleaning up the city in under a decade.
So much so that the recent mugging that turned into a shooting death the girl brazenly said after the mugging,"Are you going to shoot us too?" and the mugger did.
Now, I live next to a park. There's sometimes lovers that park there, and sometimes there's johns and hookers. I call the police each time I see people sitting in their cars for longer than 15 minutes. I live in a community that's relatively safe being here in NYC. It used to be a notorious neighborhood from the 1880s until just over a decade ago. It's been brough to a safer point and now it's up to us to help keep it safe.
