    • 2001, Bernard E. Harcourt, chapter 5, in Illusion of Order:
      Where did the new approach [of broken windows policing] go off track? The difficulty can be traced back to the categories of "honest persons" and "the disorderly." Under the broken windows theory, these categories are vested with a certain naturalness, or fixity, or organicity. It is as if the world were naturally divided into law abiders and lawbreakers.
