This sounds like a very interesting course! This is not my area of
expertise, so what Im about to suggest is perhaps already on the
table, or too basic for the course. However, The Malcolm Gladwell
book the Tipping Point, is an easy and provocative read. I
believe the whole book might be indirectly relevant to the course,
but his chapter about New York and the Broken Window theory is
eye opening. Perhaps there are better sources to learn about this
theory, but he does a pretty good job of illustrating its basic
points in a 50 page chapter.
I also heard about an on-going broken Window study happening in
the Holland Slums right now. Just heard about it yesterday on the
radio. Might want to look into that and get some current info on the
matter.
