Would there be as many murders?

You could compare crime rates in high latitudes between winter and summer.

Moscow, for example, gets 7 hours of daylight in December and 17 in June.

Though you would have to adjust for the fact that people stay inside more in the winter.

More darkness I believe would be more prone to criminal activity. That’s when I prowl.

Even at noon the sun can cast dark shadows. Folks will always find a way to kill each other.

There’s a lot more crime on hot evenings in the summer where it’s light out until late.

And while we’re on the subject, crime rates drop when business turn off the lights at night. Criminals won’t go into a completely dark building without a flashlight, and it’s a lot easier for a passing cop or security guard to notice a flashlight roaming around in a normally dark store or building.

If you really want to lower the number of murders, do something about the easy access to guns.

Most murders in the world are signed off on with a pen in broad daylight.
