Is Broken Window Effective?

My research topic is about if Broken Window is effective?. Broken Window is a policing  theory introduced by James Q. Wilson and George L. Kelling with the purpose of maintaining and restore order and reduce crime in designated neighborhoods. This policing theory will help to prevent minor incidents as vandalism, graffiti and public drinking from become bigger incidents.  In order to prove the effectiveness of this controversial policing I have gathered some reputable sources. My first source is from http://www.npr.org, an article named "How A Theory Of Crime And Policing Was Born, And Went Terribly Wrong”. I choose this article because it came from a reliable source. This article has current information about what works and what didn’t about the introduced policing. The second source on my list is from https://mises.org. The article is titled “The Broken Windows Theory of Policing Has Failed”. I like to use this source because it introduces us to a definition, a comparison and posibles cause of failures of the theory of Broken Window. The third source is from https://www.manhattan-institute.org and it is tittled “This Works: Crime Prevention and the Future of Broken Windows Policing”. I picked this source because it is reliable and has a lot of information between definitions, points of  view collected from people who has been involved in the development of this policing and how it has help some communities.
