Glad to respond to another post of yours. Our last class that we had everybody was involved and this one appears to be also. The broken window theory has been used for a long time; however, it did not have a particular name. I look at it from the prohibition standpoint. Prohibition came about because many leaders felt that excessive alcohol consumption lead to health issues and caused people to act out badly meaning committing crimes. Even today there are arguments with the placement of bars and how close they are to residential neighborhoods. Many people do not want to live close to the bars because of noise and the likely hood of a crime happening, that is why police normally set up right outside or close to popular establishments today.
