Don't Lose Your Cool: Temperature and Gun Violence in North America 1: Wilfrid Laurier University, Canada; 2: Brock University, Canada Hotter temperatures due to climate change are expected to increase interpersonal violence. We find temperature affects gun violence in Chicago not through hot days getting hotter but through cold days growing milder, which previous climate change damage predictions may overlook. For every season except summer, a 1C warmer day results in 1.4% more gun violence. Using data from automated crime reporting allows us to confirm criminal behaviour (rather than criminal statistics production) is temperature sensitive. We also find evidence that the COVID-19 pandemic and its lockdowns exacerbate the temperature-violence relationship, while positive shocks such as NFL wins attenuate it. | |
