PrepTest 47, Section 2, Question 1
While it might be expected that those neighborhoods most heavily patrolled by police have the least crime, the statistical evidence overwhelmingly supports the claim that such neighborhoods have the most crime. This shows that the presence of police does not decrease crime in a neighborhood.

The reasoning in the argument is flawed because the argument
attempts to support its conclusion by making an appeal to emotions
fails to consider the possibility that criminals may commit crimes in more than one neighborhood
draws a general conclusion from too small a sample of data
fails to consider the possibility that police presence in a particular area is often a response to the relatively high crime rate in that area
takes for granted that public resources devoted to police presence could be allocated in another manner that would be a stronger deterrent to crime
