In 1994, the Mayor of New York, Rudolph Giuliani, decided to tackle crime in his city with a radical new approach which has come to be known as zero tolerance. Although the problems were not nearly so great, this was being tried at the same time in Hartlepool, a small town in northern England.
The essence of the idea is this: instead of ignoring minor crimes, you treat them very seriously – and in this way you prevent young criminals from going on to more serious crimes. So, for example, the police always stop and question or arrest teenagers who break windows or write graffiti on walls. As a result, the atmosphere in public places changes; people feel safer, and they go out more. Then it is more difficult for groups of young boys to dominate the area and terrorize older or weaker people. In New York the car theft, for example, fell by 56 per cent.
Zero tolerance has proved quite popular, and other parts of the UK have been experimenting with it. In Strathclyde, the area, which includes Glasgow, they used to have a lot of alcohol-related problems, especially with young people. The local council has now made it illegal to drink alcohol in public places, and the police enforce the rule strictly. It has also tried a curfew for children in certain problem parts of town; anyone under the age of l6 in the streets after 7.30 p.m. can be taken home or to a police station.
The danger with zero tolerance is that the effect may wear off after a period of time. It may only be the initial shock, which has the good effect.
