Chapter 790: Broken Window Effect
As expected by Giuliani, under his attack and the negotiation of the Chinese embassy in New York, the New York City government quickly responded.

That night, Caesar, who had just hid to avoid the limelight, and the bald black man were caught by the police.

Facts have proved that as long as the government is serious, such a small case cannot be unsolved.

You must know that in a place like Harlem where criminals are concentrated, many people with criminal records have already become police insiders. For this kind of thing, you only need to ask the insiders a little to find out where Caesar and the others are hiding.

Therefore, early the next morning, the New York City government sent a representative to the Presbyterian Hospital to express condolences to Ma Li, and informed the news that the criminal had been arrested.

Not only that, the government representative also stated that the government would bear all of Ma Li's medical expenses, and also sent a condolence money of [-] US dollars.

Of course, all of this was done in front of media reporters.

Some people in the government need to clear up their "wrong name" for their inaction.

Well, Wu Xiaozheng admitted that Ma Li made a small fortune this time at the price of blood.

Of course, money is secondary. What matters is that the perpetrator has finally been caught and will be punished accordingly.

As soon as the government representatives left, Giuliani came back.

It seems that before he took office as mayor of New York, he was relatively laid-back.

"Dear Wu, the matter of the case has finally come to an end, I wonder if you are still satisfied?"

Wu Xiaozheng: "..."

Can I say dissatisfied?
If this kind of armed robbery and wounding happened in China, the perpetrator would definitely be sentenced severely.

But the United States is a place where guns are rampant, and its laws are relatively loose, so although Caesar and the black bald boy will be punished, it is estimated that it will not be too heavy.

There are precedents for this kind of thing in previous lives.

In June 2004, Lin Jianhui, a citizen of Fujian, China, was robbed by six cold-blooded African-American bandits in New Jersey. He was shot in the head and died tragically. He left behind his two-month-old son and his wife.

The murderers of the tragedy were later convicted in a New Jersey court and sentenced to 7 to 30 years in prison.

After the verdict was announced, the leaders of the Chinese community present expressed that the sentence was too light and stood up to protest. The trial was interrupted for the second time.

After the trial resumed, the judge said that according to US law, the defendant can obtain a light sentence by pleading guilty and reaching an agreement with the prosecutor. This judicial procedure cannot be changed.

This time, although Ma Li was also robbed and shot, her injuries were not serious. Therefore, Wu Xiaozheng estimated that the two gangsters were likely to be sentenced lightly.

"I can only say that I accept this result. But I estimate that according to the laws of the United States, the two criminals are likely to be sentenced lightly. I am actually not too satisfied with this."

Wu Xiaozheng told the truth.

Giuliani seemed surprised.

He was surprised that Wu Xiaozheng knew the relevant laws of the United States.

"Dear Wu, I very much agree with your point of view. Our laws are still too benevolent and our government is too weak. This is actually condoning crime, which is actually very unfair to other citizens."

Wu Xiaozheng: "..."

As long as you know!
But as a Chinese, he doesn't want to say too much about the United States.

Giuliani asked again: "Wu, do you know the broken window effect?"

Broken window effect?

Wu Xiaozheng naturally understands the broken window effect.

This is a theory in criminology and psychology.

Take, for example, a building with a few broken windows.

If those windows in this building are not repaired, it may have a strong psychological implication to others: the windows here can be broken.

As a result, more broken windows appeared on the building.

Therefore, the reason for the broken window effect is the first broken window.

After the vandals destroyed more windows, eventually they even broke into the building.If it is found that no one lives there, it may be settled there or set on fire, and a good building will be destroyed.

The broken window effect is actually quite scary in real life.

On a wall, if some graffiti is not cleaned off, the wall will soon be covered with messy and unsightly things.

A bit of confetti on a sidewalk, soon there will be more trash, and eventually people will take it for granted and dump it on the ground.

A person who has a smoking habit goes to a friend's house. If the friend's house is very clean and there is no ashtray, he may resist the urge to smoke, or go to the balcony or outside to smoke.

But if there is an ashtray in a friend's house, there are cigarette butts in it, or there are cigarette butts on the ground, then he will be unceremonious in the house, and even throw the cigarette butts on the ground.

……

This phenomenon is the broken window effect in criminal psychology.

What Wu Xiaozheng wondered was why Giuliani suddenly mentioned this.

Could it be that the future strongman mayor wants to link the broken window effect with the chaos of New York's law and order?
"You mean that the crimes in New York are actually a broken window effect?" Wu Xiaozheng asked tentatively.

Giuliani was surprised by Wu Xiaozheng's intelligence.

He nodded.

"That's right, in many areas of New York, such as Harlem, the reason why crimes occur frequently is because of the connivance of the current government. The government does not act after criminals commit crimes, or they are not punished as they should be, which will make other people People who want to commit crimes feel that the cost of committing crimes is so low that more people will be attracted to commit crimes.”

"I am quite sorry for the outcome of this matter. But I promise that once I become the mayor of New York, I will do my best to change all this and fix these broken windows in New York. At that time, you and yours are welcome. Friends come to see a safe New York again."

No wonder Giuliani will be called a strong mayor in the future!
It turned out that he had already formed a clear view on the governance and rectification of New York!
Wu Xiaozheng just didn't know why he tried so hard to promote his political views in front of himself, a foreigner.

Is it to attract investment?

Or did you fancy my popularity in the Chinese community in New York?
Wu Xiaozheng began to think about this question.

Perhaps the latter is more likely.

You know, Giuliani has already seen that those famous Chinese businessmen in New York gathered at the Presbyterian Hospital yesterday because of Ma Li's cleaning up.

Giuliani may have realized that some of Wu Xiaozheng's views on this matter may affect those Chinese businessmen.

He wants to influence those Chinese businessmen through his own mouth, so as to gain the extensive support of Chinese businessmen for him!
Wu Xiaozheng immediately analyzed this conclusion.

Now that I know he will definitely become the mayor of New York City, why don't I sell him?

Wu Xiaozheng's businessman's investment mentality has risen again.

"Mr. Giuliani, I am very happy to see you as the new mayor of New York. I also believe that under your governance, New York will become a safe and prosperous new city."

"In order to show my support for you, during your election process, I can give financial assistance within my ability."

Wu Xiaozheng made a public statement.
