and I would say based on it that, yes, it does

it's accepted by pretty much every criminologist that crime and heat are related

this topic is not even up for debate

exactly

That's frankly not what the debate is about

it is

The argument Cosby is making is that it's accounted for

> it's accounted for

and yet I see no account of this at all

just saying it's in a couple of studies

doesnt mean jack if you don't even link a study

Okay but that doesn't mean that the focus of the argument is whether crime and heat are related

Pretty sure these guys are just trolling

I think it's pretty clear that the heat correlation was never denied

causation

And I think they know it's actually retarded to focus on temperature, considering the discussion

And if they DON'T know that it's retarded, then it's probably hopeless talking to them

temperature is one of many factors that causes crime

Either way: abort mission

Yikes

he wants to avoid temperature focus

now, it can get so hot that crime is reduced, but there aren't very many places where we are going to see that

like 130F or something

The sort of optimal range is probably somewhere like 85-110F

for the crime effect

but it will scale up before that

and then rapidly scale back down when it gets way too hot to do anything

Correlation does not imply causation.

Why are we talking about the weather in a philosophy channel?

but it can

scroll up @Boo

What that hot weather lowers crime rate?

Yea I guess it does if it's scorching hot

But that kinda applies to doing anything

The idea is that there is certainly an optimal temperature range that provides a criminogenic effect

and it's generally pretty hot

Now it's obviously not the sole cause of crime but it very well could be enough to push someone over the edge in certain situations
