What are some common factors that affect Dallas crime?
— Mild winters and warm weather tend to increase crime. — Dallas has pockets of blight across the city rather than huge hot zones where police can concentrate their resources. — A vast highway system means many vehicles which can be broken into or stolen. — Interstates 35 and 45 are major U.S.-Mexico drug trafficking corridors. — The Park Cities are surrounded by Dallas, but not included in Dallas, sapping the city of middle- and upper-class families less likely to be crime victims. The suburbs may also be a factor. — A high number of retail stores creates more burglary targets.
