Beyond Broken Windows: What Really Drives Urban Crime – CityLab

The premise of this article illustrates hot people and crime. It talks about hot people but I’m sure that these serious crimes occur in only a small percentage of city PLACES which generates the majority of crime.

KEEP in mind that .6% of a City of 258,612 people is 1552 SERIOUS offenders. That is not an insignificant number.

Police Make 10 Million Arrests a Year, but That Doesn’t Mean They’re Solving Crimes

The intercept has an interesting article on police arrests. In the article the Vera Institute has a new arrest day a tool the looks very interesting. I have a like to it in the post right before this post.

Too many arrests? Is it the police fault or the persons breaking the law?

Amid aggressive enforcement of minor offenses, most victims don’t report crimes to police and fewer than 25 percent of reported crimes are solved by arrest.
