哈萨克斯坦和乌克兰是两个最新的警察破窗理论的采用者，该理论最早于20世纪90年代在纽约市应用。这两个国家都接受了这种做法，尽管它的受欢迎程度在下降，在西方受到广泛批评。本文探讨了两国最大城市阿拉木图和基辅为何以及如何效仿破窗警务。它表明，在西方城市地区和后来的后苏联背景下，各种维持秩序的警务行动如何变得突出，有着惊人的相似之处。由于社会经济转型，中产阶级的扩大和城市地区人口结构的迅速变化使这种规范的警务风格得到普及。通过扩大对无序行为的监管，两国还试图塑造出适合具有宏大地缘政治野心的国家的公民类型。哈萨克斯坦和乌克兰试图通过创造更加有序的国内环境来提高其地区和全球排名。
ABSTRACT Kazakhstan and Ukraine are the two latest adopters of the broken windows theory of policing first applied in New York City in the 1990s. Both countries embraced the practice despite its declining popularity and widespread criticism in the West. This article explores why and how broken windows policing is mimicked in both countries’ largest cities – Almaty and Kyiv. It shows that there are striking similarities in how various order-maintenance policing initiatives rose to prominence in Western urban areas and later in the post-Soviet context. The expansion of the middle class and the rapidly changing demography of urban areas due to socio-economic transformations popularised this norm-setting style of policing. By expanding policing of disorderly behaviours, both countries also tried to mould the type of citizens appropriate for a state with grand geopolitical ambitions. Kazakhstan and Ukraine sought to improve their regional and global rankings by creating a more orderly domestic environment.
