Climate change and crime

Research shows several connections between climate change and crime. Some studies indicate an increase in crime rates, especially violent crimes while others show the evidence is mixed, finding weak or inconsistent correlations. Researchers focus on several factors that might influence rime rates like temperature volatility, seasonal variations, and local infrastructure. Activities and legislation that allow for environmental crimes to happen, fuel climate change, further impacting crime patterns.
