Chapter 729 The law and order in Los Angeles has changed
"Liu Lang, you have been busy since you returned to the United States. You have not come back with your parents. You are even busier than President Ronald Reagan!"
When Mo Lan saw Liu Lang, he "raised troops to investigate".
Liu Lang curled his lips, women are often unreasonable and it is impossible to reason with them.
"Brother Situ Tian, we haven't seen you for a long time."
Liu Lang ignored Mo Lan and looked at Situ Tian who was following her.
"Liu Lang, we have not seen each other for a long time. I always want to talk to you, but I have been too busy in the past six months. Fortunately, my sister comes here often. She cares about you very much. Compared to me,
You are more like her biological brother!"
Situ Tian said with a smile.
"Xiaotian, you are the most grateful to Liu Lang. Without his idea, I'm afraid you wouldn't realize your wish!"
"Thank me? Thank me for what?"
Liu Lang was a little confused.
"Liu Lang, you have forgotten that when we first met a year ago, you proposed a broken window theory and asked me to start with the smallest details. Over the past year, I have done what you asked, and the results have been three
A few months later, the number of criminal cases in the neighborhood I was responsible for dropped by 10%, and after half a year, the number dropped by 18%. A place that originally had a very bad public security situation changed drastically in half a year, and this is all thanks to you.
"
Situ Tian's words reminded Liu Lang. Yes, the two met for the first time more than a year ago in Chinatown, Los Angeles. The other person was an ordinary policeman responsible for the security of a neighborhood. At that time, he was very distressed and felt
The public security in Los Angeles was hopeless, and he was still a young man who wanted to make a difference, so he fell into confusion. Liu Lang proposed a "broken window theory" to him and asked him to try it.
This is a famous theory in psychology. The author is the very famous psychologist James Wilson. The core is the psychological suggestion effect of the environment on people.
For example, there is an uninhabited house. If the windows of this house are not broken, no one will pay attention to it. However, once one window is broken, other windows will also be broken in a short time.
When someone breaks something, it has nothing to do with the person's quality, it's purely a matter of following the crowd.
In the previous life, from the early 1980s to the mid-1990s, urban security in the United States was very poor, especially in New York and Los Angeles. Vicious cases continued to rise, and the police were unable to stop them despite all their methods.
It wasn't until the mid-1990s that the New York Police Commissioner saw the broken windows theory and was inspired by it.
He found that many corners of big cities, especially subway stations with the most criminal cases, were full of messy graffiti. People would involuntarily become excited when they entered such an environment, but no one paid attention to these details.
The police chief ordered the entire city to be "cleaned", especially the subway stations.
The results were unexpected. In one year, the crime rate in New York dropped by 30%. It can be said to be a miracle. In five years, New York changed from a crime capital to a world capital.
Of course, the decrease in the crime rate is caused by many factors, but no one can deny the huge impact of this small detail, and it has also become a heavily written case in the history of New York.
In this life, the "Broken Windows Theory" was applied earlier by Situ Tian in Los Angeles, and the effect was very obvious. This time he came to Liu Lang to express his gratitude.
"Xiao Tian is right. Because of his achievements this year, Mr. Situ Tian has been promoted from detective to superintendent. He has also become the highest-ranking Chinese in the Los Angeles Police Department. His future is limitless!"
Moran added with a smile.
The position of superintendent is barely considered a mid-level position in the police department. Before the superintendent, there are three police ranks: trainee police officer, first-class constable, and detective. The superintendent is the fourth rank, and the higher ones are police inspector and superintendent.
Most police officers can only reach the rank of police supervisor in their lifetime, and then they reach senior positions. Situ Tian is less than thirty years old this year. Even if there are not many white people at this age who can become police inspectors, let alone Chinese
Well, only those who have made great achievements will be promoted out of the norm. Obviously, Situ Tian stands out because of his achievements in fighting crime.
"Oh! Brother Situ has become the superintendent? This is a great thing. It is really the pride of us Chinese!"
Liu Lang congratulated the other party repeatedly.
"This is nothing, nothing!"
Situ Tian was a little embarrassed.
Becoming a police inspector is a very honorable thing for Situ Tian. On the one hand, being promoted, but more importantly, he has gained recognition from the top management and has more confidence. However, it is not enough in front of Liu Lang.
Let’s not talk about the fact that he was admitted to graduate school at the age of six. Even Americans think he is a miracle and cannot use normal thinking.
Understand, the "Voice of America" talent show produced by his Shengtang company is even more popular all over the United States. Even many colleagues watch it on time in front of the TV, and they also call from time to time to canvass votes for their favorite contestants. All this is a seven-year plan.
When it comes to things that a 20-year-old child can do to make the Chinese proud, who can do it better than Liu Lang?
"Brother Stuart, you are very young now, so you must keep up your efforts and strive to become a police superintendent as soon as possible, and then run for the California House of Representatives and Senator. Maybe one day you will become the first member of the cabinet. By then, you will
Your ideals will be realized to a greater extent!”
Chinese people are all low-key and reserved. Even if they are successful, they will make a lot of money. Wan An is the richest Chinese man today, but he rarely appears in public.
In the United States, it is not enough to have money. If you want to become a real upper class person, you have to participate in politics. This has led to many things that are incomprehensible to the Chinese. Those multi-millionaires and even billionaires would rather lose money to become a member of the political class.
Congressmen, if they do well, will run for governor. In the United States, there are many black legislators and governors, but there are basically no Chinese.
Liu Lang still remembers that in his previous life, there was no Chinese American minister until the late 1990s. He still relied on his husband's prominent position to reach the top, and it had nothing to do with ability and performance.
Situ Tian is different from ordinary Chinese. Although he is also very low-key, he is very active and works hard. People who work hard are still very popular everywhere, so he may really enter politics in the future. Maybe he will become
A remarkable character, it would be very interesting if that were the case, because he was also "supported" by Liu Lang.
In order to celebrate Situ Tian's promotion, Liu Lang invited everyone to a nearby restaurant for lunch. The food was Mexican food. During the dinner, Situ Tian chatted and laughed with everyone. It was completely different from the taciturn appearance last year. It seems that more than a year has made him happy.
His personality has changed a lot and he has become more confident.
