Well, I think by moving the crimes away (as you've noted), you'll have prevented crimes from occuring... in that area only obviously. Installing enough cameras in low-traffic areas where the crimes usually occur might be enough to cut down on the overall number of crimes commited as the number of unmonitored low-traffic areas will decrease.
They already do this in areas with a history of car theft, so I think it could work to deter other crimes from occuring as well.
