Crime has its own cycles, a magazine reported some years ago.(1)_______________________.The pattern of crime has changed very little over a long period of the years.Murder reaches its high during July and August,as do other violent attacks.Murder, in addition, is more than seasonal; it is a weekend crime.It is also a nighttime crime:62 percent of murders are committed between 6 p.m. and 6 a.m.on a Saturday night in December, January, or February.Except for on strange statistic,May is the least criminal month of all.(2)_______________________.Professor Huntington made a lot of studies to discover the seasons when people read serious books,attend scientific meetings,and make the highest scores on examinations.In all examples, he found a spring peak and an autumn peak separated by a summer low.(3)_______________________.June is also a peak month for marriages!Possibly, high temperature and humidity bring on our strange and surprising summer actions,but police officers are not sure.“There are, of course,no proof of a relation between humidity and murder”, they say.“Why murders high time should come in the summer time we really don't know”.
