Remember "broken windows" theory? The notion that small signs of decay--such as broke windows--need to be guarded against since they give a sense of lawlessness and in turn encourage bigger problems. Well, looks like Baghdad's traffic cops are trying out the theory, and people are pretty happy:
Mohammed Yunis, an inspector with the traffic police in central Baghdad's Karada district, said the seat belt rules began to be enforced a couple of days ago and that the response showed that Iraqis were eager to follow the law. "About 80% of the drivers have their seat belts on, so it's not impossible to implement these laws here," he said.
Really appreciate this post. It’s hard to sort the good from the bad sometimes, but I think you’ve nailed it!
