Slides?
I have no idea what you mean. Criminals? How will you feel about being trapped in your cul de sac for a week without power after a storm?

slides slide into your neighborhood looking for targets
a culdesac is defensible, you know the cars that belong there. I used to be trapped for a week because I couldnt afford my power bill. Now I have transformers that hook up to a motor and can run as long as I need to.
thanx,
bill

I've lived on 'em - never had a problem.
I used to live [link|http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&hl=en&q=1400+South+Pearl+Street,+Denver+Colorado&ie=UTF8&z=15&ll=39.691073,-104.98033&spn=0.019781,0.051928&om=1&iwloc=addr|here] and it was far superior to these developer car culture based cul de sac hells the land-rapists like to build.

Single family home
baby story and a half victorian built 1900 - pre cars. Carriage houses on alley in back. Old neighborhood in Denver. Somewhat gone to seed - many nearby houses were rentals, but on its way back. Great pedestrian neighborhood with small commercial center a block away featuring Denver's best sushi restuarant, great little pub, local theater, some shops - all of which brought in a fair amount of traffic evenings and weekends.
Parking on street, moderate traffic flow. I think boosting from a cul de sac would be easier - no traffic, nobody comes by during the day, lots of privacy to do the B&E. In a place with reasonable flow, somebody will probably happen by and say something.

Sadly, you can't build that kind of neighborhood anymore
zoning laws and property developer profit maximization get in the way.
Proper living requires decentralizing commerce and fractalizing the structure. Old Denver has one block devoted to commerce every 5-10-ish blocks of houses - often with small businesss on the corners of other blocks. Pedestrian commerce/mixed use planning needs to return.
Then, you meet your neighbors.
Developers do the opposite - they force commerce to the megamall and make parking miserable, walking impractical, and people drive straight into their garages never meeting their next door neighbors. What a sucky way to live.
