The broken window theory seems to work, yes... But it works on the premise of reaction as opposed to proaction.
Reactive policing is just as effective as proactive policing... I don't have the study handy, but there have been studies done in New York and Chicago which have lent credit to this theory.
More proactive laws are just a nuisance and impinge on our basic freedoms... Plus, our legal and policing systems are already so clogged with crimes actually worth policing and judging, this just makes an already bogged down system moreso.
Having laws controlling clean sidewalks and busses, then taking actual manpower to police them is probably the lowest priority that our justice system should be focusing on.
