The Tipping Point: How Little Things Can Make a Big Difference - image

Rating: 4.0/5 Stars
Rank: 23

--Commissioner William J. Bratton
"The Primary reason for the historic and rapid declines in crime and disorder in the subways and on the streets of New York City in the early 1990s was police activity.

Police focused their activities on controlling illegal behavior to such an extent that they changed that behavior. Malcolm Gladwell's book and its theories, particularly the 'Power of Context,' clearly describes how crime and disorder were rapidly 'tipped.' It is a vital and 'must read' addition to the on-going debate about what really causes crime and disorder and how best to deal with it." --This text refers to the Hardcover edition.
