社会学家做过一个试验,将两辆外形完全相同的汽车分别停放在帕罗阿尔托的中产阶级社区和相对杂乱的布朗克斯街区。停在中产阶级社区的那一辆,一个星期仍完好无损;而另一辆,被摘掉车牌,打开引擎盖和车窗,结果不到一天就被人偷走了。这时候,实验人员在剩下的这辆车的窗户上打了一个洞,只一天功夫,车上所有的窗户都被人打破,内部的东西也全部丢失。 Sociologists have done a test to park two equally-shaped cars in the middle class of Palo Alto and the relatively cluttered Bronx neighborhoods. The one parked in the middle class community remained intact for a week, while the other, having removed the license plate, opened the hood and windows, and was stolen in less than a day. At this time, the experimenter made a hole in the window of the rest of the car, only one day kung fu, all the windows in the car were broken, all the things are lost.
