Obviously, they are just avoiding being classist by covering all socio economic groups evenly. (I have heard similar reasoning before why focusing on high crime areas is bad.)

High crime areas are that way usually due to persistent intergenerational poverty and a lack of investment in the community combined with little to no local opportunity. That's how things are in the US at least, these conditions create desperation which leads some to desperate measures
