Final answer:

Zero Tolerance Theory believes that tolerating public order violations and disruptive behavior leads to community neglect, which fosters further disorder and crime.

Step-by-step explanation:

The theory that believes tolerating public order violations and disruptive behavior leads to community neglect, which fosters further disorder and crime, is Zero Tolerance Theory. Zero Tolerance Policing is a misapplication of Broken Windows Theory and assumes that allowing small transgressions of the social order to go unpunished signals to citizens that serious crime must also be acceptable. This theory advocates for cracking down on all sorts of small crimes and making arrests for petty offenses to deter major crimes.
