Maybe the 'Broken Windows' Strategy Could Cut Down on Traffic Deaths Too
Every 30 hours, a New Yorker is killed in a car crash. With the right approach, the NYPD could help bring that number way down.
Can the "broken windows" approach to policing work on traffic crime?
That's the argument from two "broken windows" experts, who spoke at last night's "Closing the Enforcement Gap to Save Lives on NYC Streets." Both argued that there's no reason the city can't reduce traffic deaths using essentially the same approach it took to cutting homicides.
