Climate change and crime

Research suggests a complex relationship between climate change and crime. As global temperatures rise, some studies indicate an increase in crime rates, especially violent crimes. However, the evidence is mixed, with some studies finding only weak or inconsistent correlations. Factors such as temperature volatility, seasonal variations, and geographical context play a role in influencing crime rates. Additionally, environmental crimes, such as illegal waste dumping and unauthorized emissions, can contribute to climate change, creating additional factors that may influence crime patterns.
