• Media Outlet: Verywell Mind
• Deadline: 7:00 PM EST – 18 June

Query: I’m working on an article for Verywell Mind about the Broken Windows Theory, which argues that visible signs of crime like broken windows, vandalism, or litter create an environment that encourages further criminal behavior. I’d love some insight from experts in psychology and human behavior, specifically on the following questions:

1. What are some of the issues or critiques of the broken windows theory?
2. Does the theory have any useful applications, particularly outside of crime prevention?
3. Does our physical environment impact our behavior? How so?
4. The theory largely focuses on the impact of negative environments. But what might positive environments that foster well-being and prosocial behavior look like? Are there things individuals could do to create these positive environments in their community?

Requirements: Experts in mental health, psychology and human behavior
