New Police Chief William J. Bratton has imported his "broken windows" policing strategy to L.A., so far to mixed results. "Broken windows" follows the notion that if you don't control small things like grafitti and smashed windows in neighborhoods, that it eventually will lead to much bigger crime. And it's worked well in New York, where he was police chief for years before Giuliani canned him for stealing too much of the limelight. But given L.A.'s entrenched grafitti culture, Bratton has his work cut out for him.
