Both those who study crime and those who fight it agree that crime is not spread evenly across city landscapes. Rather, clusters of crime--a few "hot spots"--host a vastly disproportionate amount of criminal activity. Even within the most crime-ridden neighborhoods, crime concentrates at a few locations while other areas remain relatively crime-free. In Policing Problem Places, Anthony Braga and David Weisburd draw on rigorous scientific evidence to make the case that "hot spots" policing--dealing with crime at problem places instead of catching criminal offenders--is an effective approach to crime prevention, and that it should be engaged by police departments in the United States and elsewhere.
