You are right that 4am incidents are less likely than 2am incidents. Bad guys don't work long hours if they can avoid it. If there are cops online I think they can verify crime tapers off around 2 am on weekends.[/quote]

Not quite the same time intervals you mention, but this is as close as we're going to get from a representative data source.  One thing to remember, though: It doesn't mean that kids roaming the streets are necessarily safer after midnight, since there are likely to be fewer of them than before midnight, increasing the likelihood that they'll be potential targets.
