  Wait... crime fell 800%? How dose that even work? Something can only go down a maximum of 100%...
  unless you deal with negatives or something, but you can't have a negative number of crimes.

  I gotta be honest I would like to see this actually work.

  Yeah, that didn't make sense to me either.

  I figure they meant there were 800% more crimes before the change compared to now.

  And let's be honest...When they started talking about music being related to crime, who else was
  expecting a hood?

  lol causal relationships how do they work.
  I lost hard over the classical music thing

  Jumping to conclusions much on the music? Maybe they were just like "What the Fuck is with the
  music? That's gonna draw attention and I don't wanna get caught.". Sounds much more likely to me

  I can see how this could work. It's like how if you hang out with a group of people long enough
  you pick up their idiosyncrasies without even noticing it...and if you do notice it, even if you
  don't like them its still difficult to prevent yourself from mimicking them.

  The subconscious interprets the world differently than the logical mind does.

  I should add that doesn't necessarily mean if everyone mowed their lawns regularly the world
  would be a happier place. It might be a tidier place, but all I was saying was that people only
  operate certain ways in certain environments or around/because of other people.

  I personally would prefer living in a world with a little mischief in it.

  Let me get this straight. Classical music turns canadian hooligans into regular, tame canadians
  who don't litter. Fascinating.

  Broken windows policing. In the same vein that school uniforms aid in regulating student
  behavior, so too does a specific environment aid in curtailing crime. There is a psychological
  explanation for this phenomenon, but it escapes me at the moment. Maybe someone else can
  substantiate my claims?

  Anyhoo, this is old news. How bout you post Durkheim's crime-is-useful-to-society theory if you
  really wanna get people excited.

  and what of the sociopaths in a clockwork orange?

  It works becuase it gives people the perception that there is order and dignity in an area,
  meaning they treat the said area with respect. My local train company tried it out at their
  stations to combat anti-social behavior and graffiti. Almost immediately they saw a fall in the
  amount of graffiti being placed.

  It's true, because of fear of reprisal.

  No, all behavior isn't Pavlovian, but it is in this case. People act outside of the law where
  they think the law can't get them. Where this is most notable, is where the effects of
  lawlessness can be plainly seen (graffiti, broken windows, filth and grime).
  Reversing this situation (neat and orderly place) gives a show that there is law in this place
  and reprisal will be given to those who break it.

  Fear of reprisal is the very basis of law and religion. All this "theory" is, is regarding the
  depiction of the threat of repercussions in one's surrounding environment. It's extremely basic.

>> [_] Anonymous 04/02/12(Mon)05:26 No.

  That only works on white people.

  Never forget that windows don't just break on their own with a plot to bring down society. There
  are populations of humans who created that disorder to begin with, and they can't be reasoned
  with.

>> [_] Anonymous 04/02/12(Mon)07:42 No.

  Totally bullshit. Classical music decreases crime because young people can't stand the sound so
  they go to other areas.

  You can achieve the same effect with high pitched sounds that only young people can hear (as you
  get older you can't hear higher pitched notes).

  probably anyone who watched the video since the guy was quoting from an article.

  It's after he stops quoting that everything starts turning suspicious.

  Dropping 800% is basically saying the recent rates were eight times lower thar before
