Crime declined in almost every city in the country when "broken windows" was implimented in NYC. There other cities didn't follow this path and the results were more or less the same.

[@eliakimlittell100]

The cities that did not follow broken windows showed similar declines in crime rates as those that did which suggests that crime was a function of other factors; demographic, economic, social.

When a Harvard video on policing is more rightwing than a Learn Liberty video.

how so? His presentation was mostly objective? And I did not see any overt biases and I am a leftist.

The first policemen were from Persia. They were called the king's eyes.

I like how cops turned from local sherrifs armed with only a revolver and a stick to local soldiers armed with heavy weaponry

You like it? I understand that some people like to be hit in the balls, or to climb vertical cliffs without ropes, but that? Really?

[@tsundere.master]

Wow its almost like the police want to be stronger than the people they fight😂​@bladdnun3016

[@TheUnknown-mg8fv]

Anyone can turn into anything but remember sometimes the gov will try to stop u from becoming something

[@dominiquedoeslife]

Not the case. They’re just hidden.

@@dominiquedoeslife oh I see.

[@ianlondon2888]

Ha! Even an Harvard professor can't tell the truth. He gave a romantic version of police history.

[@Senator_Senart]

😐??? Seems like a pretty fact based video to me. But out of curiosity what do you consider the real truth of police history ? Can you recommend any videos you consider more factual of police history then this video ? If so I would like to see a better police history video then this one (If you have one) for one of my KZbin playlists.
