Broken Worldviews Policing

This quality of life driven enforcement, "broken windows policing", was coined as the title of a March, 1982 Atlantic magazine article by George L. Kelling and James Q. Wilson, and was the text for New York's war on violent crime and disorder under Mayor Rudy Giuliani in the 1990s -- Broken Windows, Atlantic Magazine

We're far removed from those proactive days and their effectiveness--and excesses.

Now too often there are no norms of safety and civility to which broken windows policing can return overrun areas.

Today is the time where broken worldviews policing and safety creation by private sector stakeholders must be enacted upon those to whom basic discipline and respect for boundaries are foreign concepts.

An enabling ideology has done its job too well in too many cases: it has disempowered law enforcement beyond legitimate civil rights concerns into little more than cosplayers in some jurisdictions pretending to be peace officers.

This ideology has also disempowered parents, public educators, support staff, school police and security personnel and retail workers to the point where they're little more than spectators or punching bags under rules of disengagement where stopping crime and disruptive behavior is forbidden--with predictably foreboding results.

Broken worldviews policing and safety creation is where we who haven't forgotten what basic safety and acceptable standards of conduct are must implement before even worse brokenness occurs.

Otherwise, captive stakeholders will find themselves being the ones broken as broken worldviews reduce life to what past generations fancied a post apocalyptic world resembling.

We either police or create safety to contain broken worldviews or broken worldviews will police and contain us.
