See what California recently did. They decriminalized a ton of misdemeanors (e.g. disturbance of peace, resisting arrest, etc). New York City will soon do the same thing, and if you add decriminalization of a ton of "petty crimes" yo NYC's new law of getting rid of bail and releasing criminals back to the streets, crime will explode in NYC.

The "Broken Glass" theory was central to Giuliani and Koch's crime/policing reforms of the late 80's and 90's that made NYC into a safe and expensive metropolis. Basically the idea is that a city that lets all these tiny crimes happen (e.g. leave broken glasses, windows, and petty mugging to happen), leaves the "gate open" psychologically for more serious crimes to happen. Getting rid of the bail system and decriminalizing misdemeanors will be the antithesis of the successful Broken Glass police system.

We're going back to the grimy 70's NYC.
