Happy Birthday to the legendary James Q. Wilson! Your groundbreaking "Broken Windows" theory didn't just revolutionize policing—it also gave countless criminology students something fascinating (and slightly intimidating) to discuss at dinner parties for decades.Your textbook on American government remains a timeless classic, guiding generations of bewildered college freshmen through the maze of politics and policy-making. Thanks for making complex ideas accessible—and giving professors everywhere an authoritative source they can confidently assign without fear of student rebellion!
Here's wishing you another year filled with insightful theories, engaging debates, and perhaps fewer broken windows—unless they're metaphorical ones you're shattering again!
