Yes, it has proven itself in practice in several cities, New York City chief among them. Take care of the little stuff and the big stuff is much less likely to develop.

Recently the idea has been used by Massachusetts in the inner cities. The Mayor of Boston agrees with the idea that if you fix up the small things then there will be far less violence, far fewer drug addicts and drug dealers. And it is working as well as it worked in New York, under Mayor Giuliani.
