Criminal Strongholds - from Shobak Castle in Jordan

Shobak castle in Jordan gave me a unique opportunity to talk about strongholds, and how criminals use them as a base of operation, much like the Crusaders used this castle in ancient times. By establishing a stronghold in a neighborhood, criminals begin to rule through fear and intimidation. Not only that, they venture out into other neighborhoods to commit their evil deeds then retreat back into the safety of the stronghold. A Reactive Policing response is largely ineffective in combating this type of criminal activity.
