Interpreting the Theft Maps

For example, there are more retail establishments in the central part of the city. Many crimes are committed in retail areas in blocks where few people live.

Because many people visit, crime rates may appear higher even for safe parks. Ultimately crime happens where people are, whether they live there or not.
