Interpreting the Theft Maps

Parks and designated recreational areas, of which Stanton has 2, have the same problem. Of Stanton’s 42,852 residents, few live near recreational areas. 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.
