Why Name the Street?

What's the purpose behind giving the name of a street that a crime suspect lives on?

I haven't seen the Savannah Morning News do this, but I've seen other papers do it, especially those in smaller markets.

But what's the purpose behind that?

I understand the reasoning behind saying where crimes took place, but not behind saying that 'John Doe of a Smith Street address has been taken in for questioning'.

Maybe this ticks me off because the parents in my area always read the paper, and they automatically assume that if someone from that street robbed a bank, every person on that street has the potential to be a bank robber, which just isn't true.

So what's the need in doing this?
