Zero Tolerance
It is also called Zero Tolerance policing (ZTP). This is seen as effective due to the way it attempts to correct smaller offenses before they become larger issues. According to legal editor E.A. Gjelten "Zero tolerance policy requires school officials to hand down specific, consistent, and harsh punishment—usually suspension or expulsion—when students break certain rules. The punishment applies regardless of the circumstances, the reasons for the behavior (like self-defense), or the student’s history of discipline problems. That’s why some critics call these policies “one strike and you’re out.”" This is why many experts argue that having ZTP in schools is necessary. These two methods of policing (ZTP and Broken Windows Theory) feed off of each other due to their preventive nature and they are often used in conjunction.
