Broken Windows Theory Proposes That

Broken Windows theory proposes that

A) Escalating deviance is a rational response to situations of social disorder.
B) Deviance results from the economic inequality inherent in our capitalist system.
C) "Broken" relationships and other social connections - i.e. divorce, lost jobs, or even deaths - result in role reduction which can subsequently lead to deviant behavior.
D) An excess of contacts with deviants, as compared to contacts with non-deviants, results in the appearance of deviance as normative.
