"Last October the city of Belleville installed high-intensity lighting in its central business district, and vandalism there declined within a month. The city of Amburg has recently begun police patrols on bicycles in its business district, but the rate of vandalism there remains constant. We should install high-intensity lighting throughout Amburg, then, because doing so is a more effective way to combat crime. By reducing crime in this way, we can revitalize the declining neighborhoods in our city."

去年10月Belleville市在其中央商业区安装了高照度灯光,那里的破坏公物的行为几乎立即减少。Amburg市最近开始在其中央商业区安排警察骑自行车巡逻,但破坏公物的发生率并没有变化。由于高照度灯光显然是震慑犯罪的最有效途径,我们建议应该把原来用于巡逻的开销用来在Amburg全市安装这种灯光。如果我们安装这样的高照度灯,那么Amburg的犯罪率会大幅降低。
