It was on the tagging list, see the start here:

Besides the verifiability problem, such tagging would discriminate one demographic group against 
another, and increase the cultural bias in OSM.

I remember when I asked a car rental agent for zones to avoid, he kindly marked areas on the map for 
me, but it was not printed on them.
