I grew up in some rough neighborhoods on the mainland it is pretty much what you are describing. It's usually only actually 3-5 people that are responsible for the majority of what goes on in each neighborhood. It goes in waves depending on how many of them are locked up at the time.
So, if a few get locked up in HPP crime goes down, but everyone is out in Nanawale so that's the hotspot. 6 months later a few are locked up in Nanawale but everyone is out in Ainaloa and its game on. So the severity and locations ebb and flow based on a few of the chronic offenders, but it never goes away completely.
Laxed sentencing, lower/no bails, in an effort to keep the inside populations down due to disease may be causing a spike in these guys being out more/longer and hence worsening crime.
