2. Philly Murders are Too Distributed
Edited on Mon May-21-07 02:33 PM by JPZenger
I don't see how this would work. There are some concentrations of murders in Phila, but they still are widely distributed in several areas of the City.

A few years ago, Philadelphia tried to pay overtime to have cops sit on the highest crime intersections for most of the day. Guess what happened? The crime moved a few blocks away. I don't believe it resulted in any net reduction in crime in the City.
