    There is evidence that the crime rates were declining before Giuliani and Bratton took over. Hence it is a hyperbole to conclude that Giuliani and Bratton were responsible for the drop in crime in New York.Refer Freakonomics- page129- Steven D. Levitt and Stephen J. Dubner.

    Dear Socrates

    1. I seek your permission to use your article for my magazine/souvenier program which I will share with security managers in a forum being organised by my company

    2. The forum is called the WORLD SECURITY CONGRESS. Please see www.bsecure.com.my

    3. I will post all articles that would be in the magazine. I expect that to take place sometime towards the end of this month

    Kind regards
    Anand Pon

    Dear Mr.Anand Pon,
    Socrates is a avid writer and has published many articles.It would not be a bad idea to have Socrates in your panel discussion specially when his article is read out.He would perhaps enlighten your session more on Broken Windows.I had the extraorinary privilage of meeting Socrates during my visit to India and i must confess his knowledge is stupendous.You will not regret my suggestion.
