Jan Schlichtmann decided to pick the case and use the elements of negligence. In order to do that he had to prove that those hazardous wastes would somehow end up from one place and into the river, which is really hard to prove.

In the wake of rising protests and criticism of police after the deaths of Eric Garner, and Akai Gurley, George L. Kelling, a criminologist and professor, and William J. Bratton, former police commissioner of the New York City Police, come together to present their argument for Broken Windows Policing (BWP). This article they collaborated on mainly focuses on topics that certain “police critics” have brought up against BWP and attempts to prove that BWP is something that should continue to be both practiced, and invested in.
