The Tipping Point and Crime in Big Cities

Lane: I remember saying this all the time when i would talk about the tipping point years ago. We used to think of the murder rate as thing that was just a product of a lot of long standing, deeply rooted social and structural forces in a cityasias. It's not. It's an incredibly volatile thing that it can go out of control in no time, and it can come plunging down in no time. Lanes: You cannot have a safe city when people don't feel safe walking down the sidewalk. He says cities turnd themselves around by paying attention to really basic kind of behavior things.
