Effects of ‘hot spots’ policing on crime
Studies have shown that crime is not evenly distributed. Some areas have higher rates than others, and even within troubled neighborhoods, specific locations often stand out. Because police departments have limited resources, there is appeal in focusing where crime occurs — in essence, “going where the money is.” A recent study of 125 police departments found 62% had adopted the approach.
