===Albuquerque=== [[Albuquerque]], [[New Mexico]], instituted the Safe Streets Program in the late 1990s based on the Broken Windows Theory. The Safe Streets Program sought to deter and reduce unsafe driving and incidence of crime by saturating areas where high crime and crash rates were prevalent with law enforcement officers. Operating under the theory that American [[Western United States|Westerners]] use roadways much in the same way that American [[Eastern United States|Easterners]] use subways, the developers of the program reasoned that lawlessness on the roadways had much the same effect as it did on the [[New York City Subway]]. Effects of the program were reviewed by the US [[National Highway Traffic Safety Administration]] (NHTSA) and were published in a case study.<ref>{{Citation |url=http://www.nhtsa.gov/people/injury/enforce/SafeStreets/ |place=US |publisher=Department of Transportation β NHTSA |title=Albuquerque Police Department's Safe streets program |id=DOT HS 809 278 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150403093901/http://www.nhtsa.gov/people/injury/enforce/SafeStreets/ |archive-date=2015-04-03}}.</ref> The methodology behind the program demonstrates the use of [[Deterrence (penology)|deterrence theory]] in preventing crime.<ref>{{Cite web |url=http://www.nhtsa.gov/people/injury/enforce/SafeStreets/call_for_action.htm |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150328025518/http://www.nhtsa.gov/people/injury/enforce/SafeStreets/call_for_action.htm |url-status=dead |archive-date=2015-03-28 |title=U.S. Department of Transportation β NHTSA β Albuquerque Police Department's Safe Street Program |date=2015-03-28 |access-date=2019-10-22}}</ref>
