If you get reported, there are relatively few ways to get away.
If you break into a place just about anywhere S of Academy
and W of Tramway, after passing a few intersections, you
get into exponentially increasing possible escape routes.
If you break into a place off of Live Oak, it's going to be a relative
while before you blend into the background. Further up ( in the
"high rent" district ), streets are very windy with slow maximum
speeds ( even if you are trying to haul arse ). This also goes for
the ( mostly deserted ) streets in N. Sandia Acres.
Once you blend into a street like Eubank or Montgomery
and then make a turn or two you are lost to the world.
There was another thread wondering why so little retail in that
area. I think this is related. Most traffic is just going to and
from home and not running all about on errands.
Both of those sites requiring the reporting departments to pay per month per jurisdiction to have their crime posted on the map. That particular zip code falls under unincorporated county, which counts as a separate jurisdiction: http://ims.bernco.gov/website/Downlo...F/vicinity.pdf
So while APD might be the responding agency, they would have to pay double to carry the reports for unincorporated county as well as City of Albuquerque.
Good news about crime in Albuquerque, 2009 violent crime figures were down from 2008. I found this reported online yesterday:
Violent crime in the city appears to have dropped off from 2008, with reported rapes, robberies and aggravated assaults dipping below the previous year’s numbers, according to the Albuquerque Police Department annual report and other city stats.
The number of reported rapes in Albuquerque, meanwhile, fell to 326 in 2009, a nearly 12 percent tumble from 2008’s 12-year high of 370 reported rapes, according to government reports.
Property crimes also dropped in 2009, compared to 2008 numbers, with the exception of burglaries. Burglaries rose by 3.8 percent, from 6,137 in 2008 to 6,376 in 2009, reports show. [bummer...]
Albuquerque’s experience, at least when it came to violent crime, appears to have mirrored many other cities across the country with populations over 100,000, according to a preliminary version of the FBI's annual crime report released Monday.
Yep, crime was down all over the country, but of course you won't read that here. Many of the people on here want to string up immigrants because they say they rape, murder and pillage. Not so much, maybe.

But you just did read that here.
I may be cynical at times, but I'm not so cynical to think there are people who were hoping that crime statistics were actually on the rise, so they can scapegoat certain groups of people and get votes for certain candidates...
According to the respected Economist Steven Levitt of the University of Chicago, Roe v. Wade has been a major factor behind the long term decline in crime rates nationwide, starting in the early 90s (approximately 18 years after the decision). Fewer future criminals have been born each year. Since the decision applied nationwide, it makes sense that the impact on crime rates would as well.

That's actually scary as with the increasing difficulty of obtaining an abortion,
crime rates should start rising again in about 12-15 years...
I would simply attribute a drop in crime rates to the aging of the population and decreasing birth rate-- of course Roe v. Wade plays a part in that, but it is not the only factor I don't think. Easy availability of contraception, increase of women in the professions, starting families later in life, etc. Maybe even allowing same-sex couples to adopt difficult-to-place children will also pay off in lower crime rates.
87120 is the same way. There is virtually nothing out here aside from the pretty big, slightly upscale neighborhoods. There is nowhere to hide and most of the neighborhoods have dead ends and cul-de-sacs so there isn't any thru traffic. (not like there would be anyway, no one who doesn't live here comes out here)
