Broken Window Theory

The broken window (theory) refers to a criminological theory devised by James Q. Wilson and George L. Kelling. The theory states that monitoring and maintaining urban environments in a structured and well-ordered condition can stop vandalism. The theory investigates the effects of social disorder such as anti-social behavior as it relates to community life. Additionally, it correlates vagrancy, social norms and quality of community life. It is imperative to define social norms and disorder in order to efficiently examine how the broken windows concept requires both police and neighborhood participation.

Topology and Media

The Hierarchical (tree) topology is best for this system. Winkelman (2013) asserts that this topology expands a star topology by allowing several star topologies to interlink through a linear bus. This topology would allow an Ethernet to include a main server, smaller servers, and PCs. Since the network fits within only two floors of the same building, the best media would be twisted pair cable (CAT5 or CAT6 UTP).

Architecture and Protocols

The network would be housed within one building forming a server-client local area network (LAN). However, the network would need some WAN capabilities in the form of an internet connection to enable the two ...
