The city aims to implement the well-known crime-fighting theory as part of demonstration projects in two neighborhoods.
"Denver is jump-starting an aggressive test of a famed criminologist's crime-fighting theories in a step that could fundamentally change the way police in the city operate.
Both the Westwood and Capitol Hill neighborhoods will get a taste of George Kelling's 'broken windows' policing, a combination of community-based enforcement and a low tolerance for even minor criminal behavior.
The quick action is part of a six-month project by Kelling's Hanover Justice Group, which promises to be short on written reports and long on specific street-level initiatives for Denver."
"Officers will also target graffiti removal, bulk garbage pickup and even street lighting, the city says. Community groups will be enlisted into the effort."
