In this episode, I discuss Broken Window's Theory (Wilson & Kelling 1982) and how its goal of increasing the number of police officers in targeted areas was meant to help lower crime, but instead, made crime rates go up. Additionally, how the over-policing of marginalized communities has helped continue the cycle of poverty.
