I recall a remark at a community meeting here in DC from one of the local officers that the “Compstat” numbers which gave crime concentrations tended to correspond to traffic accident concentrations.
This study seems to confirm that correlation is not cause. At the very least, one needs to consider that one lives in a bad neighborhood because one has bad life skills. That might include driving maturely.
I quit SA after 40+ years when it went political with global warming. Haven’t looked back. It simply isn’t that old SA.
That also applies to Austin. There are more traffic accidents east of IH 35 in the rough neighborhoods and much more crime too. It's almost a given that there will be an accident at Loyola and 183 on a daily basis.
