There is something to this idea that we want cities to be small, so that everyone knows each other and by virtue of knowing each other, we are less likely to deliberately hurt someone.
You're thinking of a different form of abuse. Absolutely a police officer is more likely to arrest someone whom he does not identify with. That's the type of thing and why police districts try to create some community bond. I've never seen this bond be successful long-term except in small towns where everyone knows each other.
