littering more often in dirty places? I'm now doing some city management related research and wondering about the idea of high crime areas. Well, the above phrase is a bit extreme. Say, littering, will this kind of behavior occur more often in areas that is already dirty and has tons of rubbish which should not be there? I believe so, however I searched things like littering, wrong parking and etc. on the internet but mostly news or policy. I'm looking for a scientific theory behind the phenomena and thinking of environmental criminology which I konw nothing about.
Any help will be appreciated. New to this site, if anything inapproporiate or unclear, please let me know.
Tragedy of the commons is an economic theory (specifically game theory) that considers both littering and crime.
