To complete this extra credit assignment, you must complete the following steps:

 

◦ Listen to the following podcast that summarizes the research that originally inspired the broken windows policing policy in New York City. You can access the podcast for free below. The podcast runs about 30 minutes long

▪ Once you’ve listened to the podcast in its entirety, you must write a 2-3 page, double-spaced paper. This paper should do the following:

▪ Summarize the podcast. Tell me about the research study that originally inspired the broken windows policing policy. What was the independent variable? The dependent variable? What is one potential confounding variable in the study (either that the discussed or that you identified)?

▪ Summarize the policy that was implemented because of the experimental evidence, and discuss what the subsequent research says about the policy's effectiveness. Highlight two things you found most interesting from this podcast and the research it discussed (be sure to frame these things in terms of the research being discussed and its relevance to social issues and social policy).
