The Tipping Point by Malcolm Gladwell

Malcolm Gladwell talked about the crimes that New York seemed to be facing. Their theory was based on the Broken Windows theory. In some cases this theory made a lot of good points. Most criminals actually would go into a neighborhood where the police probably wouldn't be called or looked as if nobody cared. If you go into a nice, clean, suburban area robberies are less likely to occur. The theory to me really says, if you want to live in a good area, you have to make the area you live in that way. Many people complain about where they live but fail to never do anything about it.
In the essay they believe crime had descended. However, when I think about the crimes they talked about, I kind of related it to today's society. In today's society people tend to still hop the trains or the buses or as they call it fare-beating. Yes the urination in the streets have declined and the drunkenness has been more discrete and maybe they have made a impact into stopping the crimes, but they are not fully dissipated yet. Problems in New York are still present and can upswing at any time!
