According to the NYPD, the city's murder rate is at an historically low level and we all agree on the fact that NYC has come a long way in terms of crime. I've seen that some areas had been identified as "Impact Zones" years ago, and that a program called Operation Clean Halls was also launched.
What are the specific areas that are still currently labeled as Impact Zones and those targeted in the Operation Clean Halls program ?
Also how did those 2 tactics affect crime in the concerned areas ? Did they actually work and are they still effective nowadays ?
Those are alot of questions...you writing a thesis or something? If city-data residents are going to be writing it for you, they should be credited in the final paper.

"The Rock" S.I.: 120 Pct (St. George, Stapleton, New Brighton). This will change with the addition of the 121 Pct which covers a sh*tty area known as Mariners Harbor.
The impact zones aren't the entire precinct, or even entire neighborhoods, smart one. The police try to look for particular hotspots within those zones. (A certain corridor, or a housing project, or a little subsection of a neighborhood). Most of those precincts you listed have decent sections within them where it would be a waste of money to concentrate a ton of police over there, because there's very little crime. I love it when people talk out of their ass.
You think every single block in New Brighton is flooded with police? No, they're likely around the Jersey Street corridor since that's where a good portion of the crime occurs. As far as I know, there's no Impact Zone in Mariners' Harbor, but if there was one, it would be a waste of time to put it in the southern section which sees very little crime.
In any case, here's a map to give you a general idea of what the impact zones are/were: wagner.nyu.edu/files/faculty/publications/impactzoning.doc (Page 25) It's a little dated, so some aren't shown (for instance, Castleton & Broadway was an Impact Zone last summer, but it's not shown)
A few years ago Longwood Avenue was an Impact Zone station.
