Abstract

This paper examines the role of local weather conditions in explaining variations in assault, in sub-tropical Brisbane, Australia. It details the extent to which local variations in weather are important in shaping the necessary preconditions for assault to take place. Results suggest that higher daily temperatures are associated with an increased propensity for assault at the neighborhood level after controlling for seasonal effects. Assaults occur significantly less frequently in summer than in spring and there is a greater propensity for assaults to occur on weekends compared to weekdays. Neighborhood disadvantage, ethnic diversity, and the presence of risky facilities such bars, schools, or shops increased the propensity for assault above and beyond the effect of temperature. Findings are important in their capacity to isolate the effect of the prevailing local weather conditions whilst controlling for seasonal variations, land use, and the socio-economic and demographic context within which assaults took place.
天气对袭击的影响
本文考察了当地天气条件在解释澳大利亚亚热带布里斯班袭击变化中的作用。它详细说明了当地天气变化在形成进攻发生的必要先决条件方面的重要程度。结果表明,在控制了季节影响后,较高的日气温与社区水平上攻击倾向的增加有关。袭击事件在夏季发生的频率明显低于春季,与工作日相比,袭击事件更倾向于发生在周末。社区劣势、种族多样性以及酒吧、学校或商店等危险设施的存在,增加了袭击倾向,而不仅仅是温度的影响。调查结果很重要,因为它们能够隔离当地普遍天气条件的影响,同时控制季节变化、土地使用以及袭击发生的社会经济和人口背景。
