Abstract

Oslo, the capital of Norway, is situated in a North European cool climate zone. We investigate the effect of weather on the overall level of crime in the city, as well as the impact of different aspects of weather (temperature, wind speed, precipitation) on the spatial distribution of crime, net of both total level of crime, time of day and seasonality. Geocoded locations of criminal offences were combined with data on temperature, wind speed, and precipitation. Generalized Additive Models (GAMs) allowed us to map level of and the spatial distribution of crime, and how it was impacted by weather, in a more robust manner than in previous studies. There was slightly more crime in pleasurable weather (i.e. low precipitation and wind speed and high temperatures). However, neither temperature, precipitation nor wind speed impacted the spatial distribution of crime in the city.

在风中飘荡?用广义加性模型检验天气对犯罪空间分布的影响。

挪威首都奥斯陆位于北欧凉爽气候区。我们研究了天气对城市整体犯罪水平的影响，以及天气不同方面(温度、风速、降水)对犯罪空间分布的影响，包括总犯罪水平、时间和季节性。犯罪地点的地理编码与温度、风速和降水数据相结合。广义加性模型(GAMs)使我们能够以比以前的研究更可靠的方式绘制出犯罪的水平和空间分布，以及它是如何受天气影响的。在宜人的天气(即低降水、风速和高温)，犯罪率略高。气温、降水和风速对城市犯罪的空间分布没有影响。补充资料:在线版本包含补充资料，网址为10.1186/s40163-022-00171-2。
