Zusammenfassung
Crime rates vary dramatically across neighborhoods within the United States. Consider, for example, that in Chicago over half of all crime occurred in just 18 of the city’s 77 designed Community Areas. Figure 1 shows that the geographic concentration of violent crime in the city is even more striking: More than half of all violent crimes recorded by the Chicago Police Department in 2007 took place in just 12 community areas, with the highest crime neighborhoods in Chicago, Austin and West Englewood, experiencing more than 5 % of the total violent crime in the city.
