This is a really interesting post with some cool maps, but it's a little surprising because the author keeps saying he cannot finding reasons. Just that 4-5pm on Wednesdays are high-time for getting arrested in the Tenderloin or 16th and Mission.
- jrochkind1 11y agoI'm not sure why that should be surprising. Perhaps it's surprising only because it's so unusual for academics to publish 'negative results'. I think this post shows how interesting and useful it can be to do so though, even if it's frustrating because we want to know 'the answer'. My guess is it's got something to do with police schedules, priorities, and focuses, rather than with crime distribution. Do cops need to make some kind of weekly report of what they've done on thursday mornings? Do they have more time to make arrests on Wednesdays? Something like that.
