Crime dropped nationwide regardless of strategy and that they didn't show an extra drop as would be expected. That suggests it is at best useless or counterproductive.

So... as a kid when you see a broken window as opposed to a pristine one, which one do kids try to break? Do kids break into abandoned warehouses or occupied warehouses?

The efforts were in vain and just marginalized a bunch of minorities like every other policing tactic, sorry you've spent so much of your life believing something else.
