The authors hypothesized that relations between temperature and assaults are stronger during evening hours than other of the day tested this hypothesis by obtaining 3-hr measures assaults, temperature, weather variables for a 2-year interval. was confirmed autoregressio n analyses controlled secular trends, seasonal differences, variables, holidays, calendar events. In addition, as predicted negative affect escape model, declined after reaching peak at moderately high temperatures. inverted...
Experimental research has recently shown a powerful impact on legal policy. An experiment demonstrating deterrent effect of arrest domestic violence shaped public Stimulated by efforts to publicize the results Minneapolis Domestic Violence Experiment (Sherman and Berk, 1984a), police departments were persuaded adopt an policy for misdemeanor violence. Over one-third respondents from U.S. in 117 cities said their had been influenced experiment, although some that adopted did not recognize or...

As a means for measuring scholarly influence, citation analysis has several limitations and shortcomings. We first review the main sources of data (Web Science, Scopus, Google Scholar, information collected directly from reference lists) discuss shortcomings each source. Next, we five significant as methodology (academic over popular interest, various motivations citing, manipulation potential, failure to account author ordering, citations only appearing in “indexed” journals). The issues...
Data on weather and aggravated assaults were obtained to determine whether the curvilinear relationship between temperature violence previously observed in Minneapolis, Minnesota (E. G. Cohn & J. Rotton, 1997), could be replicated. The data consisted of calls for services received by police Dallas January 1, 1994, December 31, 1995. Controlling holidays, school closings, time day, day week, season year, their interactions, moderator-variable autoregression analyses indicated that an inverted...
Two archival analyses were performed to examine the association between annual temperatures and U.S. crime rates. The first was based on area-averaged in United States as a whole for years 1950 through 1999. Box-Jenkins time-series indicated that associated with assault but not murder rates controlled yearly population, ethnicity, three economic variables. second analysis state-centered from 1960 1998 included same controls. Contrary general aggression model, cross-sectional assault, rape,...
Persons arrested for misdemeanor domestic violence are held in custody widely varying lengths of time. To test the effects this variance, we randomly assigned short (X̄= 2.8 hours), full 11.1 and no arrests (warning only) to a sample 1,200 cases with predominantly unemployed suspects concentrated black ghetto poverty neighborhoods Milwaukee. Victim interviews one official measure showed that arrest had substantial initial deterrent effect relative warning group. Longer term follow‐up...
Little is known about spatial and temporal variations of violent crime in South Africa. This article addresses this gap by investigating the seasonality assault at a neighborhood level city Tshwane. The authors first investigate whether seasonal, then examine association between seasonal levels area measures social deprivation for urban neighborhoods Similar to previous international research, found that with higher incidences summer. Deprived exhibited rates than more affluent...

Based on the negative affect escape (NAE) model of heat and aggression, it was hypothesized that relationships between temperature aggravated assaultswould be moderated by access to air conditioning. This hypothesis tested subjecting calls for service received police in Dallas, Texas, multivariate analyses covariance employed weather variables as predictors controlled temporal holidays, time day, day week, season year. As NAE predicts, assaults probably climate-controlled settings were a...
