1. To decrease the number of crimes in city Y, the city’s Police Commissioner proposed taking some police officers from low-crime districts of the city and moving them to high-crime districts of the city.

The Police Commissioner’s proposal depends on which of the following assumptions?

E Districts of the city from which police officers are removed do not experience significant crime increases shortly after the removal of those officers.
