“…The findings of this research, rather than confirming a lunar-crime/ disorder relationship, corroborated earlier literature establishing that crime varied temporally (Cohn, 1996;Heller & Markland, 1970;LeBeau & Corcoran, 1990;LeBeau & Langworthy, 1986) and due to weather (Cheatwood, 1995;Cohn, 1990b;Hipp et al, 2004;Quételet, 1842Quételet, /1969Rotton & Cohn, 2003). Weekends and nightly temperature were consistently and positively associated with aggregated levels of crime, though there was variation based on specific offense categories.…”

“…The social contact hypothesis suggests that during times of pleasant weather, aggressive and hostile acts may be more common because there is an increase in normal human interactions, which increases the opportunity for interpersonal conflict. Within weather and crime research, scholars attempted to sort out the social versus physiological effects of weather on human behavior (Cheatwood, 1995).…”

“…Instead, much research has involved simple linear regressions of crime with temperature. The most common approach is to use daily data from one or two cities to test for a linear relationship between temperature and crime rates (Anderson & Anderson 1984;Cheatwood 1995;Cotton 1986;Farrell & Pease 1994;Harries & Stadler 1984;Suttles 1968). An advantage of these studies is that the daily crime and temperature data allow for a closer inspection of the temperature/crime relationship.…”
