1 Perhaps 'no go' to street level civilian police. With some political back bone, they aren't 'no go' to police tactical teams, intelligence agency action teams or the military.

Inner City Crime Clusters

**Crime in inner cities is extremely concentrated at micro-geographic levels**, with research showing that approximately **4.5% to 6% of street segments account for 50% of all crime incidents**. This phenomenon, known as the "law of crime concentration," remains remarkably stable across different cities and time periods, even as overall crime rates fluctuate.

* **Hot Spots Policing**: Interventions focusing on these specific "hot spots" have proven effective, with studies in cities like Seattle and New Orleans demonstrating **4% to 10% reductions in crime** through targeted patrols and environmental modifications.
* **Micro-Location Focus**: The clustering is so precise that **0.4% to 1.6% of locations generate 25% of city crime**, often involving features like poor lighting, abandoned buildings, or unregulated nightlife.
* **Consistent Bandwidths**: A systematic review of 47 studies confirms that this narrow bandwidth of concentration applies globally, reinforcing the strategy that police resources should not be scattered but focused on high-activity addresses and street segments.

3 ^^Seems like every so often, some city discovers thus 'new way' of law enforcement. It never seems to last. Color me cynical.

4 @3 No, just realistic. Probably doesn't last because it actually works, which upsets the people who vote for that politician. They expect crime to actually stop using magic without sending their criminal spawn to jail.
