University of Groningen social scientist Kees Keizer and his colleagues conducted six field experiments in which they artificially created opportunities for crime in both orderly and disorderly environments. In one case, they placed an envelope containing visible cash so that it was hanging out of a postbox. The baseline condition was a clean postbox; the experimental condition was a postbox covered with graffiti and surrounded by litter. In the baseline condition, 13 percent of those who passed the postbox stole the money. In the experimental condition, 27 percent stole the money. The other five experiments had similar outcomes.```
Graffiti and litter cause crime!
Okay, skimming through it, it argues that appearances matter, a more rundown, deteriorated area will attract more crime.
It makes sense, specially in the indirect effect of business investing more in places that don't look like shitholes, increasing the presence of people in general. More visibility means it's riskier to commit crimes.
You can look at inner cities
There are lmost no small shops there since it is run down and voletile
nope
Just tend to be in favour of broken window policing
Assuming it's the basic "don't ignore lesser crimes as it tends to lead to people causing more/serious crimes"
See a building with no broken windows, tend to assume that it's best left that way
See a run-down place with several broken windows, tend to assume noone's gonna give a fuck if you break another one for the lulz
so on and so on
I'll come back to read it later
That too, not ignoring lesser crimes, is mentioned. The whole article is excessively long.
Anyone seen that vote leave have *ALLEGEDLY* broke the law with it's campaign?
Yes
Until there is no substantial proof I am going to take it with a pinch of salt
```Communism's only real weakness seems to be that it doesn't work```
*hmmmmmmm*
@franti thats what im doing too. So far its all allegations and no real legal action being taken place, its still in the investigation phase
@Reaps don't you know, it hasn't really been tried yet, if we REALLY tried TRUE Communism then it'd be great!
how do you know it'll be great?
what evidence do you have that it'll be great?
haha, I was being sarcastic...it's the no true Scotsman fallacy that people constantly use defending Socialism or Communism
the interesting thing is, people pull out the text book definition of Socialism to show why it has never truly been tried, but then all their Socialist policies need to be implemented by the federal government, so they basically push towards an extremely powerful central government like all the "not true socialist" countries had
to move towards "true" socialism you basically need no government, and everyone simultaneously opting in to communal living (not taking a paycheck, everyone contributing what they can contributing and taking what they need)...and that'll never happen (and if it did we'd all end up starving to death, because farming sucks and no one would want to do it)

The Romans were so Based* they built walls around their towns
To keep the Brittons, Franks and Scotsmen out of their settlements

Rebuild Hadrian's wall? <:think_woke:378717098681171988> And make the Scotsmen pay for it?

I used to be an AnCap, but then I realized I like living in the US more than Mexico.
