If work is needed for "crowd control", why aren't popular holiday destinations crime hotspots?

They are crime hotspots

  • I asked Gemini to list the 10 most popular holiday destinations in the US, and the 10 places with the highest crime. There's only 1 place in the intersection: New Orleans.

    Highest violent crime rates:

    Memphis, Tennessee: ~2,400–2,500 per 100k
