Purpose Current evidence suggests volatile temperatures are becoming more common
because of climate change and can be expected to become even more frequent in the …

A growing body of research suggests a positive connection between climate change and
crime, but few studies have explored the seasonal nature of that link. Here, we examine how …

Weather characteristics have been suggested by many social scientists to influence
criminality. A recent study suggested that climate change may cause a substantial increase …

Background There has been an increasing interest in the association between ambient
temperature and violence and crime, in the context of global warming. We aimed to evaluate …

Drawing on prior studies, green criminologists have hypothesized that climate change will
both raise the mean temperature and the level of crime. We call this the “climate change …

Objectives Violent behavior is influenced by individual and societal characteristics, but the
role of environmental factors is less understood. Our aims were to use national-level data to …

It has been argued that the temperature increase caused by anthropogenic climate change
will produce a significant increase in violent crime. Support for that prediction is often based …

This study provides insights on how climate change may already be impacting crime rates.
Based on analysis of 20 years of monthly data from St. Louis, MO, this study finds that most …

Recent studies have revealed large and robust correlations between seasonal climate and
violent crime rates at regional scales within the continental United States, begging the …

Methods We analyzed the relationships between daily fluctuations in ambient temperature,
other meteorological and temporal variables, and rates of daily violent crime using time …
