You don't fix spousal abuse nor honour killing by sending police to arrest people in poor neighbourhood. You fix spousal abuse by social interventions and honour killing by targeted response combined with social interventions.

Are you saying that the visible presence of the police won't stop any type of crime, or just specifically your spousal abuse example?

You're arguing against a different point than what I was addressing.

In general physical presence of police helps crime in the short term, but not in the media to long term, instead it likely makes it worse. The spousal abuse example wasn't mine, but the GP's.
