re: #180 wheat-dogghazi

I wonder if the murder rate is higher during the winter months. Cabin fever and all. Any stats on that?

Yeah, there is, but the data is different than you might think.

The seasonal pattern of homicide in Finland did not change intrinsically during 1957-95, although the amplitude of the seasonal variation decreased significantly. In comparisons of different time periods, peak incidences occurred mainly during summer and troughs during winter.
