> You would be a fool not to listen to these accumulated and learned indicators of crime prevention. If you are a police officer in a hotspot for crime, you start to believe far more humans are criminals than not. That isn't an accusation, but it requires effort to realize that you aren't dealing with representative groups of people in your day to day job. That said, the current tone in that debate is probably too poisoned. There are even accusations that crimes weren't followed up because of the religion of perpetrators in Europe. Or that sentences are significantly lighter if you have an immigrant background. If that is the case, it is certainly not helpful in any way.
