Crisis of Crime
Crisis of Crime aims to educate about criminology and criminal justice reform. Is our Criminal Justice System broken, or working as intended? I suppose it would depend on who you ask. Join me as I explore criminological theory as well as topics such as systemic racism, discrimination, and reforms.

Episode 4
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.
