Discussion Questions on CH. 3 #3

I agree with the Broken Window Theory. I believe that crime is a result of disorder, and in ways that crime can be contagious. If there is no set societal order or government or offical law abiding system, than yes crime will be a product of not having these crime fighting factors. Criminals will always be around. As long as there is poverty and drug abuse, then there will always be, a result of murders and homicides and other criminal activity. Criminals find ways to break the law, and then find some way to get away with it. If other criminals see that other criminals got away with his or her crime, then they will think "why can't I get away with mine." It is all part of a never ending cycle. Everyone thinks they are bigger and badder than the one before, but in the end, they are all the same. The criminal is out smarted and out strategized and arrested. Society proves this, one just needs to read the newspaper, and the Broken Window Theory will be proved.
