But I never said there is "no correlation" between theory and stats, did I!

It's easy, if you and hatchetman find no value in the thread, don't post in it! Why you felt need to give your 2cents is beyond me.

At least Chicago76 gave some valuable insight.

Default oak park and gangs

One thing I know for a fact is that most of the people in the gangs on the westside or virtually anywhere don't want to roll into a suburb that has a pretty good police and neighborhood watch presence. They know that more likely than not they will be racially profiled by many in the community(cops and residents). They understand that they are not wanted in the communities.
It is the same idea as if a suburbanite was going into the westside all the time. They are not welcome and most of the time if you are in the wrong area the bangers or anyone around you will tell you to leave. The cops will also tell you to leave, They have even more of an inclination to pull someone over who looks out of place in the ghetto like some white suburban kids.

I believe part of The reason the north side does not have as much crime is that the houses on the north side are more expensive. There is a general sense that the neighbors look out for each other very well. Also the police patrol the perimeter of that area heavily.

But like what one of the posters said before, Berwyn has a little to do with that because there is a much higher latino population with the Kings, Razas, LDs are spreadin out into those areas.

On the North side the neighborhoods are Galewood and Austin, and the area of austin from North ave to chicago isnt that populated with gang members. The cops patrol austin pretty well. Galewood does not have much gang activity so that may be why, there isnt much spillover.

In my opinion your not going to see any of this(gang activity) in Oak Park, because THEY know the consequences are greater if caught in that predominately "WHITE" area...but AUSTIN yea its almost everywhere...

Unique One Two,

Wait, let me get this straight. You think that west side gangs don't go to Oak Park because they are afraif of "racial profiling"? Does this mean blacks in Oak Park get racially profiled too? And that whole thing about white suburban kids from Oak Park going into the west side and being unwelcomed... What about black suburban kids from Oak Park? Are they welcome? If not, why say "white" suburban?
