Maybe you can criticize the algorithm, but I doubt the notion that there are more and less dangerous areas is under debate.

What would not having such an app achieve - that people who are too naive to do any research move into crime areas, thereby smoothing out the crime stats? Is that really a viable solution?

I think the point is exactly that.

What, that naive people should be fooled into moving into bad neighborhoods? I don't think that is really a promising solution.
