e.g. 1982年3月,社会科学家詹姆士·威尔逊和乔治·凯琳在一篇题为《破窗》的文章中,首次提出“破窗效应”。
In March 1982, social scientists James Wilson and George Kelling first introduced the "broken windows theory" in an article entitled Broken Windows.
e.g. 根据社会学,“破窗效应”主张如果一个社区或一座城市不修补破窗户,其环境会继续沦为犯罪、混乱和暴力之地。
In sociology, the broken-windows theory holds that if a neighborhood or city doesn't fix its broken windows, the environment will continue to descend into crime, chaos and violence.
