Police cracking down on subway acrobats - New York News

7-1-14

The New York Police Department is cracking down on the subway showmen who use the tight quarters of the nation's busiest transit system as moving stages for impromptu -- and illegal -- pass-the-hat performances.

Police Commissioner William Bratton acknowledges he is targeting subway acrobats as part of his embrace of the "broken windows" theory of policing -- that low-grade lawlessness can cultivate a greater sense of disorder and embolden more dangerous offenders.
