Seems more like a chicken/egg debate than anything. What I can deduct from any of that is that if stop and frisk causes more police to be on the street, thus resulting in a reduction in crime, than stop and frisk must be a fantastic policy.
Actually pretty much every study shows that "saturation" (flooding an area with officers) only serves to push crime to neighboring areas not being saturated. Every area has known "hot spots", for example there's a Lemon Tree Inn off the 10 freeway that is almost literally LA's version of Mos Eisly. You could saturate that area, but the criminal element would just set up shop somewhere else.
Just an FYI, if you ever visit Los Angeles please know that you don't want to stay anywhere near the 10 freeway unless you're at where it ends in Santa Monica. Not that you would as it's nowhere near any place that's touristy, but it's still good to know.
