Download or read book Crime Weather and Climate Change written by Matthew Ranson and published by . This book was released on 2012 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper estimates the impact of climate change on the prevalence of criminal activity in the United States. The analysis is based on a 50-year panel of monthly crime and weather data for 2,972 U.S. counties. I identify the effect of weather on monthly crime by using a semi-parametric bin estimator and controlling for county-by-month and county-by-year fixed effects. The results show that temperature has a strong positive effect on criminal behavior, with little evidence of lagged impacts. Between 2010 and 2099, climate change will cause an additional 30,000 murders, 200,000 cases of rape, 1.4 million aggravated assaults, 2.2 million simple assaults, 400,000 robberies, 3.2 million burglaries, 3.0 million cases of larceny, and 1.3 million cases of vehicle theft in the United States.

Book excerpt: Master's Thesis from the year 2014 in the subject Sociology - Law, Delinquency, Abnormal Behavior, grade: 1.0, City University of New York John Jay College of Criminal Justice, language: English, abstract: There has been a longstanding debate as to whether or not temperature affects the influx or decrease of violent crimes and crimes against property. This project adopts a retrospective and longitudinal approach to examine the association between weather patterns and crime rates in northern Brooklyn in 2012. Archival weekly time series is used from the National Weather Service, the New York City Police Department (NYPD), and the Department of Labor in this secondary data analysis. Results are analyzed and a determination made to see whether temperature and precipitation and crime have a statistically significant relationship and whether the relationship is positive or negative.

Book excerpt: This paper investigates the effect of temperature and precipitation on murder, rape, homicide, and burglary levels in California from 2000-2010. It uses annual data to smooth out the effects of short-term, stress-inducing weather shocks on crime, and instead focus on how weather plays into rational criminals’ expected utility functions. Initial findings show that higher temperatures are associated with fewer robberies and homicides, and more burglaries. However, after adding in economic and demographic controls along with county-specific fixed effects, these results become statistically insignificant. Precipitation is initially found to only be associated with lower robbery levels, but after adding in controls, this result becomes statistically-insignificant. With controls and county-specific fixed effects, though, this paper finds that higher levels of rain and snow are associated with fewer burglaries. These results may indicate that precipitation levels play into burglars’ expected utility functions and stress the importance of controlling for as much demographic, economic, and unobserved heterogeneity as possible.

Book excerpt: The present study assesses the degree to which temperature affects the crime rates in all 62 counties in the State of New York. Five different crimes (i.e., robbery, aggravated assault, burglary; larceny, and motor vehicle theft) for the year 2019 were selected from the Division of Criminal Justice Services of New York to be examined. The current study examined whether the rate of these crimes was associated with the changes in weather, with the assumption that higher weathers would lead to higher property and violent crimes, when controlling for the effect of various control variables. The findings suggest that the likelihood of all five crimes to happen was, indeed, affected by weather when controlling for the population, age, gender, race, and immigration trends of the counties. Relevant policy recommendations are suggested in light of these findings.

Download or read book Crime Violence and Global Warming written by John Crank and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2015-05-20 with total page 506 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Crime, Violence, and Global Warming introduces the many connections between climate change and criminal activity. Conflict over natural resources can escalate to state and non-state actors, resulting in wars, asymmetrical warfare, and terrorism. Crank and Jacoby apply criminological theory to each aspect of this complicated web, helping readers to evaluate conflicting claims about global warming and to analyze evidence of the current and potential impact of climate change on conflict and crime. Beginning with an overview of the science of global warming, the authors move on to the links between climate change, scarce resources, and crime. Their approach takes in the full scope of causes and consequences, present and future, in the United States and throughout the world. The book concludes by looking ahead at the problem of forecasting future security implications if global warming continues or accelerates. This fresh approach to the criminology of climate change challenges readers to examine all sides of this controversial question and to formulate their own analysis of our planet’s future.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 2020 Choice Outstanding Academic Title Carbon Criminals, Climate Crimes analyzes the looming threats posed by climate change from a criminological perspective. It advances the field of green criminology through a examination of the criminal nature of catastrophic environmental harms resulting from the release of greenhouse gases. The book describes and explains what corporations in the fossil fuel industry, the U.S. government, and the international political community did, or failed to do, in relation to global warming. Carbon Criminals, Climate Crimes integrates research and theory from a wide variety of disciplines, to analyze four specific state-corporate climate crimes: continued extraction of fossil fuels and rising carbon emissions; political omission (failure) related to the mitigation of these emissions; socially organized climate change denial; and climate crimes of empire, which include militaristic forms of adaptation to climate disruption. The final chapter reviews policies that could mitigate greenhouse gas emissions, adapt to a warming world, and achieve climate justice.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this paper is to expand on the research of weather and crime by considering the effects of weather elements on the spatial geography of crime within the County of Los Angeles. Using statistical techniques it would try to determine the effects of weather on each of the different crime types. It is hypothesized that in the study area, weather is statistically significant in explaining the amount of crimes occurring. It is also hypothesized that more crimes happen during abnormally cold days and extremely hot days. In this study the findings may not be conclusive and more research may be needed.
