Probably not because that would cause a disturbance and it would likely get a violent reaction because you're waking people up.

Areas like Sparkbrook have always been steeped in crime even before the demographics of the area changed, like what was said in the article you linked, crime is not determined by race or religion but by economics. Sparkbrook is a particularly poor area and crime tends to be rife when people are struggling. It was like that back when the area was majorly white as well.
