Well, wasn't that the assumption I put forward in my previous e-mail?

In Sweden, Swedish police lists 60 areas as what they call Vulnerable
areas, subdivided into three groups based upon severity. Here's a
wikipage about it https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vulnerable_area

And here's an official report by the Swedish police (in Swedish)
https://polisen.se/siteassets/dokument/ovriga_rapporter/kriminell-paverkan-i-lokalsamhallet.pdf

In everyday speech these are often called no-go zones
