The criminal justice system brought up new ideas with broken windows theory. With the past of the years many people think that the policy need to be fix or reformed. Rosen express that “Zero tolerance focuses on discovering (not deterring) crime by mandating that police stop, frisk and arrest vast numbers of people--many of whom are young black and Hispanic men--for minor offenses, in the hope that subway turnstile jumpers and pot smokers will turn out to be guilty of more serious offenses.” After the mayor Guiliani won the election presenting the Zero Tolerance program the crime rates didn't have a notable decrease. Some of the policemen working with this policy didn’t find it appropriate in most cases. This policy was not only a like to the Broken Windows theory but more aggressive.
Both theories became more controversial when two unarmed men were shots to dead by the New York police department. Giuliani felt like his morphed theory were more successful than the original but there were terrible changes in how they handle vandalism and drug dealers. Applying the Broken Windows theory a drug dealer or a smoker were more likely to receive a warning while applying the zero tolerance they were handcuff right away. Residents after seeing what has become of the criminal justice system began to step down as before, being in silence(Rosen). All this because they thought people that were vandals or smokers in the streets didn’t deserve to be shot by mistake for refusing to get handcuff once they got caught by the police. Policing has become a chaos between how to make America safe and at the same time make people trust in the authorities.
Penalties for serious crimes were usually mistaken applied to minor offences by the police departments after they brought this policies. McMaken express, “It's important to note, though, that the vision of Kelling and Wilson was not the crude model of policing that is used today under the label or the Broken Windows theory. (What is used today is often a hybrid of the Broken Windows model and the "zero-tolerance" model.). Today’s policing have been morphed into a more productively theory by taking what works from each and merging it into one. In the actuality New York City is presenting “Broken windows warrants. The mayor de Blasio and the New York Police signed off a new plan that would apply to warrant only from 10 years or older. (Gartland, Moore and Cohen) This warrants that seek arrest for minor offenses will mostly affect the people who didn’t went to the court after getting a summon. De blasio a like Kelling and Wilson believes that by taking this step he could help drop the crimes rates of New York city and clean the streets of old ruler breakers.
