How did broken windows influence policing?

The "broken windows" theory, introduced by social scientists James Q. Wilson and George L. Kelling in the 1980s, posits that visible signs of disorder, such as broken windows, can lead to an increase in crime. This theory influenced policing by encouraging law enforcement to address minor offenses and maintain public order to prevent more serious crimes. As a result, many police departments adopted proactive strategies, focusing on community engagement and zero-tolerance policies for minor infractions. Critics argue that this approach can lead to over-policing and disproportionately affect marginalized communities.
