It seems perfectly reasonable to station police in places which are indisputable hotspots for crime.
I mean, is it discriminatory to say that Compton has a lot of crime and police should patrol it?
Or is this just loosely using the tech community as a demographic to drum up clicks while scraping the bottom of the barrel as far as looking for topics to write about?
- rconti 10y agoHotspots for crime? Or hotspots for arrests?
- PeCaN 10y agoWhy not both? What if all races commit roughly proportional amounts of crime, but there's a higher density of crime in black neighborhoods? There are way too many variables to say anything about whether “blacks commit more crime” OR “police arrest blacks too much”.
- ktRolster 10y agoAn external proxy for 'crime hotspots' could be looking whether an area has bars on the windows or not.
