Directed aggressive patrol officers can fall into patterns when patrolling the same area, allowing criminals to anticipate their moved and plan around them. While random patrol uses advanced mathematical algorithms to anticipate future crime, the routes are randomized to eliminate predictability (Hess).

should be abolished because criminals are not always cognitively aware of the crimes that they commit, which demands the rehabilitation of the individual.
